LOST DEER-STALKERS
Brought Back to Safety By Telegraph—Press Association INVERCARGILL, May 2. At 6 o’clock this evening W. Moore and F. Davis, the two Winton youths who were lost in Lillburn Valley on Sunday, returned to Winton little the worse for their experience. They were discovered this morning in the dense Helmet country by Mr T. Clark and tho party who entered the bush the previous evening. The pair had subsisted since Sunday on half a sandwich each day. They saw a plane yesterday afternoon, but failed to attract tho attention of the pilot as they were in a gully at the timo and could find no dry wood to light a fire. They made for a ridge, and about an hour later again saw the plane and were then able to light a fire, the smoke from which was seen by the airman who was accompanied by Mr Clark. The latter organised the party that set out last evening, and they made for the spot where the smoke was seen in the afternoon. At 7.30 o’clock this morning Moore and Davis heard a cooee and returned the call, the search party arriving on the scene a few moments later.
