LOST THE TRACK
TWO GIRLS’ EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
(BY TELEGPvAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 15. Two 'Wellington young ladies, aged 18 —Misses Tiller and Pollock, the former a member of the Tararua. Tramping Club—‘left early on Sunday morning tramping to Red Rock, six miles out. In the afternoon they decided to extend their tramp to Headlong Gully, over rough uninhabited scrub country. Darkness set in while they were in the scrub. They lost the track, so slept in the scrub all night. Fortunately they had food, and groundsheets* in a haversack. The father of Miss Tiller searched from 1 la.m. to 5 a.m. and was then relieved by a sou and a nephew, who found the wanderers making their way home at 8 a.m. oh Monday, exhausted but safe and unhurt. They arrived- home at 10.30 a.m. just as a search party of Tararua Trampers was about to leave. Luckily the night was mild, and no illeffects were experienced, hut the parents suffered considerable anxiety, fearing an accident, as the -country is very rough and steep. After food and rest, both girls thoroughly recovered, and Miss Tiller remarked that she had quite enjoyed the experience.
