"HELP AT ONCE REQUIRED."
A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. A Gom>ek Bat (Nelso») paper states that Mr. Jas. Simpson, farmer, Karamea, picked up a bottle recently on the beach near Oparara. In the bottle was a note stating: .Wilson stranded on Heaphy jpcck; help at once required. One' leg broken, and no food. Dated June 26, 1912." Constable Johns left with food and other necessaries, in company with Mr. Donaldson. It may be a hoax, but the police consider it advisable to make sure. The- men will have 17 miles on foot after getting off their horses.
