YOUNG MAN EMERGES THROUGH - BUSH. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) STRATFORD, Wednesday. Losing the track on the way to North Egmont from the Stratford moun-tain-house, a young man named Webster, a railway porter, of Onehunga, struck through the bush for the open country below him, yesterday. Eventally he arrived at Midhirst His nonarrival at North Egmont caused fears for his safety; and search parties were summoned from New Plymouth and Stratford, when Mr A. Haldane, caretaker of the Stratford House, learned 'of Webster's arrival at Midhirst in time to stop the parties before they left for the mountain.
Webster was lucky in finding his way through the dense bush. Had he been lost all nigh,*, the intense cold would probably have killed him.
