LOST ON TARARUAS
TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS PLIGHT OF DEER STALKER SEPARATED FROM COMPANIONS [by telegraph—own correspondent] PALMERSTON NORTH, Sunday An unenviable experience befell Mr. H. Meads, of Bulls, who was lost on the Tararua Range for two days and nights. Eventually ho arrived safely at Shannon. With Mr. J. B. Robins, also of Bulls, Mr. Meads joined up with a deer-stalk-ing party at Eketahuna. Mr. Meads lost touch with his companions in rough, hilly country. Misty rain was falling at tho tijno and visibility was poor. Mr. Meads had gone after a stag and when he did not return to camp search parties were hastily arranged. Tho countryside was scoured, but without result. In the meantime Mr. Meads had wandered off in another direction, eventually coming out on tho other side of tho Tararuas and making his way to Shannon. Clad only in a shirt and "shorts" his experience was an unenviable one, but he stood tho ordeal well and is now little tho worse for his exposure and arduous climb. Tho searchers also had a strenuous time and were practically exhausted when tho welcome news was telephoned to them that the missing man was safe.
