Regarding the Onehunga mystery, the Auckland Herald of Friday states: — "Considerable apprehension is entertained concerning the whereabouts of Miss Gweir Ferguson, the well-known horsewoman, who resides with her parents at Mount Smart Road,, Onehunga. G'n Wednesday night Miss Ferguson retired to bed shortly before 10 o'clock, but next morning she was' missing from the home of her parents. It was afterwards discovered that she had set an alarm-clock, for 12.30 the same night, and left a note on the kitchen table, saj-ing she would return homo by 5.30 yesterday morning unless something -happened. Yesterday morning Miss Ferguson's horse was found with a bridle on m a stable at Onehunga, where it Mas customarily stalled, but, as the hoVse hid

its cover on, and the lady's saddle was m its accustomed place m the stable, it is surmised that Miss Ferguson had not been out riding. In the stable. .how-

over, a divided skirt, a pair of white stockings, and a jacket were found. 'Miss Ferguson's parents thought it possible she had gone into the country, to Papakiira perhnps, on a cross-country jaunt, as she apparently left home clothed m a . pair of lace-up riding paiits and a riding jacket. Up to an early hour this morning there was no trace of the missing l»idy, and fears are entertained that something untoward has befallen her."
