BODY BROUGHT IN.
PERILOUS WORK ON ICE SLOPES. HALL EXPECTED TO RECOVER. NEW PLYMOUTH, August 4. Many relief parties were despatched and great difficulty was experienced in retrieving the body of Mr. Lance Gibson, which was brought to North Egmont at 5.15 this evening. A rescue party sent out last night from North Egmont reached Hall and a party of ten others just in time, as they were all nearly asleep in the snow and would have perished in a few hours’ time. They were discovered shortly after midnight and the whole party reached North Egmont at five o’clock this morning in an exhausted condition, after a perilous journey across precipitous ice slopes. Hall is expected to recover.—(P.A.)
