LOCAL AND GENERAL

The first instalment of an exciting new serial story will appear in the Daily News on Friday. This is “The Six-Hour Mystery,” from the pen of . Anthony Marsden, whose thrilling stories have won a high reputation. Several members of the committee of the Egmont National Park Board have referred eulogistically to the prominent part played by Alpine Club members in the rescue work on Mount Egmont during the week-end. The party which left North Egmont on- Sunday night to bring in Air. W. J. Hall, who was injured near Warwick Castle, comprised Alessrs. R. and H. Larsen, L. W. Lovell, K. P. Tompkins, C. Deem, W. Groombridge, all members of the Taranaki Alpine Club executive, and Air. A. Lambert, one of the rangers, and a keen member of the club. The attempts of a Press photographer to obtain some pictures of a motor smash were hindered by the usual collection of bystanders—most, but not all of them, small fry—who regarded the occasion as an opportunity of "getting in the news” too good to be missed, and arranged themselves in front of . the vehicles which were to be photographed. One small boy, however, was quickly removed from the centre of the group by an anxious mother who was heard to say, "Here, you keep out of tlnat, Johnnie, or. teacher will say yow weren’t .eq ill after all.” .
