PIG HUNTERS RETURN
LOST THREE DAYS WANDERINGS IN MOUNTAINS Press Association WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The three men from Stokes Valley who went pig hunting in the Tararua Ranges and who had been missing since daylight on Sunday last, arrived at Mr. Mexted’s residence at Pahautanui at 2.30 o’clock this afternoon. The three -sportsmen are Messrs. A. Cameron. C. Fraser and E. Farley, all young men. Although fatigued by their long exposure they were little the worse for their sojourn in the open. They said they had lost the track in the mist and had wandered down the Whakatiki Stream until they struck the Moonshine, when they crossed the range to Mr. Mexted's homestead. They stated the weather had been quite fair, although it was very cold in the ranges on Monday night. The "wanderers "were hospitably entertained by Mr. Mexted, who, after they had enjoyed a good rest, motored them to their homes at Stokes Valley.
