Hampered by severe weather, the search for the Indian, Delu Desai, who has been missing from Taharoa, Kawhia, since May 7, has been continued without success. The settlement of Taharoa has been visited by the Commissioner of Police, Mr D. J. Cummings, and Inspector C. W. Lopdell, officer in charge of the Hamilton police district. The 28 police officers under the local supervision of Detective A. J. White, of Hamilton, are maintaining the search of the sandhills and the dragging of Lake Taharoa. The motor-boats engaged in the latter task are beginning to show the effect of the constant work and overhauls and minor repairs, which are carried out by Constable W. A. T. Maguire, of Auckland, have been necessary. The dragging is still confined to the main lake, but further scope is offered by the adjacent twin lakes, which are approached by narrow boat channels. Access to the main lake is still difficult, as the only boat channel is practically blocked by a huge raupo drift. Old time friends are always best, Staunch and true to every test. Seeking neither thanks nor gain For their aid in loss or in gain Oldtime friends are friends indeed In the time of urgent need; And for colds the best, be sure Is Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
