The male members of his family, assisted by all settlers of the district who were able, to the number of a hundred, have scoured the whole country, and dragged the Mauku creek, hut no traces have been found. Constable Gamble, of Pupakura. also assisted in the search, and was satisfied that nothing more could be done. The creek is now being watched, in expectation of the body floating.
