THE TARARUA TRACK

The surface of the ground has its touch to the twanging string of courage, self-reliant endurance, and warm generosity of heart. To Mr Voeseler and his men, answering sudden call of distress, to plunge into the wet hush and blowing blizzard, due honour has been given, with public endorsement. Once more, the proved realisation has come to the Dominion that there are men who will face the worst without flinching whenever the call comes. A country full of them can never go under. For those who went up to the Tararua tops in winter— Vosseler and his parly, not forgetting the constable who started, singlehanded, from Greytown, and took horses where horse-travel was thought not possible—there ought to he a better honour than words, however warm and inspiring. They have recommended things to be done. These are a hut, provisioning ot existing huts, and guide-posts on tracks. Let these things be done. No one will be more grateful than these brave fellows who have given this sensible advice.
