LOST IN THE BUSH.
NEW PLYMOUTH, Jahcaby 9. A picnic party of Oatholio boye went on Thursday with Father M'Kinna and three Marist Brothers to the ranges at the foot of Mount Egmont. In rambling about the bush one of the Marist Brothers and two little boys got separated from the rest of the party and lost themselves. After waiting till dark, Father M'Kinna and his party came into town without them. A search party was out all yesterday and last night. The Marist Brother who was lost rode into town from Eoru last night. He states that, when getting dark, he made a fern bed for the boys, who slept soundly, and in the morning they picked up the river and tramped along its banks till they came out at the settlement at Koru about four o'clock in the afternoon after a tramp from daylight. Beyond fatigue, the little boys are none the worse for their adventure. The Marist Brothers left the boys at a settler's house, and rode into town last night to bring in the news.
