A visitor to the limestone caves alongside the Tanmatamaire Itoad, near Awakino, had an unenviable experience the other day. His torch went out, and he found his matches would not last long enough to reach daylight. He realised the situation was desperate, and so cut up his shirt and lighted it; afterwards his singlet and then his coat. Still he was seme distance from the entrance hole, and he was obliged to use his trousers and socks, just getting out in time. He was quite naked, and in. this state reached a neighbouring hut where he secured clothing and reached home safely.
