SPONTANEOUS HELP
PLIGHT OF TWO MUSTERERS
Appreciation of the services of the' searchers and those who gave hospitality to his two musterers was expressed to the Daily Times yesterday by Mr D. C. Aubrey, of Cattle Flat Station. There had been a spontaneous response from his neighbours and their employees to look for the two men at the back of Treble Cone. The searchers had reached Spear Grass Saddle at 11 a.m., and from then on were in thick snow at an altitude of 7000 feet. There were blizzards during the day, and many of the searchers suffered from slight frost bite. The men's tracks : were found, but could not be followed.
Mr Aubrey- stated that the two' musterers walked 55 miles. . They had followed the Pulnoon Creek instead of the Watatapu River. The men had been given generous hospitality by a boundary keeper, a miner, and the hotelkeeper at Long Gully.
