SEARCH CONTINUES.
No Trace Yet Found of Mrs Boyle. The search for the body’ of Mrs Rosa Boyle, who is believed to have been drowned in the Waiau River, was continued to-day. After covering the river for a distance of fifteen miles yesterday, the search parties went out again t-hiL morning, but at 1 p.m. they had had no result. Mrs Boyle has been missing since Friday last, when she and her husband, Mr Patrick Boyle, went for a swim in the river. Constable D. Sterritt spent the whole day yesterday in searching the river some distance below the spot where Mrs Boyle was last seen, and a party of three young men concentrated on the higher reaches of the river. That party is now campefl at the Leslie Hills Bridge and intends patrolling various sections of the river each day, while the constable will continue the search by’ himself. Owing to the river being murky and low the proposed aeroplane search has been abandoned. Even at the best of times it is difficult to see more than about two feet into the river and for that reason a search from the air would be unlikely to assist in locating a body
