LOST IN THE BUSH
TWO MEN MISSING.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wairoa, Yesterday. Four men, named Robinson, Higgins, Townsend and Baker, left Wairekei station here with the intention of walking to Rotorua, and got lost in the bush. For four days they lived on berries, and managed to reach the head of Lake Waikaremoana, thirty miles from the Lake House, on Sunday morning. They built a raft, as three of them were sailors. Higgins and baker embarked to cross the like, while Robinson and Townsend decided to walk, and reached Lake House this morning. There are no tidings of the men on the raft, and it is feared they have been lost on the lake, as it was very rough. Search parties arc now out.
