MISHAP ON MOUNTAIN
TWO YOUNG PEOPLE INJURED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, July 16,
Slipping on frozen snow when less than 100 yards from the Tahurangi hut, 5000 feet up on the north side of Mount Egmont, Miss D. Holmes, aged about 18, and Roy "Warren, aged 17, slid about 500 feet down a valley covered in crusted snow and rocks on Saturday night.
In spite of many abrasions, they were both able to climb the ridge and return to the hostel by the track, being met on the way by a later party. They were attended by a doctor and a trained nurse who were staying at the hostel.
The girl's condition today was not serious, but the boy was found to have a long flesh wound on his head, severe abrasions, and slight concussion.
