MISSING CHILD
EXTENSIVE UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH. Dunedin, Aug. 24. Four hundred and fifty men and boys, headed by 43 police, unsuccessfully searched the Tomahawk district yesterday for Valda Shirley Eggers, aged two years, who has been missing from her parents’ home since Tuesday afternoon. The police had been searching throughout the week, and dragging a large lagoon, while on Friday a resident, T. Pereira, and a constable courageously dived into the dangerous surf and searched the caves under Lawyer’s Head. The authorities arc now convinced that the child fell into the lagoon from the bridge, the body being still there or swept to sea. • To morrow Flying-Officer Olsen will fly over the lagoon. This method of observation is adopted on Sydney beaches to detect sharks.
