Late advice has been received regarding Arthur James Michael Cox, who left Hokitika some weeks ago to walk over the ranges to Canterbury via the Whiteombe Pass, and for whom a search was made when he was missing. It was stated that lie been located at Hororata, but it later transpired that it was at Glentunnol where he was located. He had safely negotiated the crossing of the mountains, but his food supply had given out, and he was almost exhausted from exposure and privation when he met a resident in that district. After receiving care and attention lie later went on to Christchurch. !
