In February, 1914, Mr. S. L. King, together with two Government guides, Messrs. Thomson and Richmond, was killed while making an ascent of Mount Cook. By the last mail Mr. B. M. Wilson, general manager of the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, received a letter from Mr. King's brother stating that he has banded to the High Commissioner for New Zealand in Ixmdon a cheque for £200 for the purpose of making provision for the families of the two guides. The money is to be handed to the Public Trustee, Wellington, for him to apply in such manner as he thinks fit.
