A NIGHT IN THE SCRUB.
LADY TRAMPERS’ EXPERIENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Sept. 16. Two young lady trampers left Wellington on Sunday morning intending to walk to the Red Rocks, round the coast via Island Bay, past Happy Valley. From Red Rocks they set out for the head of the long gully, a rather strenuous walk, which, if continued, leads to Mount Tlawken’s highest peak. Instead of going on in this direction the girls decided to make for the Karon foservoir. They became tired and had to make a ’bivouac in the scrub for ; the night, and then managed to make | their way home yesterday. Meantime their parents and friends became alarmed and organised search parties, whose services were happily not needed, but the brother and father of one girl spent the night in the scrub searching, and had a rough experience.
