BODY FLOATING IN RIVER
FAILURE TO RECOVER IT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Oet. 5. The body of a man was seen floating down the Waimakariri River at White’s bridge between 5 and 6 o’clock yesterday evening by a contractor, H. Farrier, who followed down the river bank for over a mile trying to recover it, but darkness set in.
The body was that of a fairly big man. It was dressed in a white singlet, cardigan jacket and dark trousers. The police are searching the lower reaches of the river and adjacent foreshores, as the body was probably carried out to sea by the heavy flood in the river last night.
