SEARCH STILL CONTINUES
DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMAN HUMAN BONES FOUND HAVE NO SIGNIFICANCE. [ Per Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 4. Human bones found buried near Kaikoura and investigated by the police give no clue to the disappearance of Mrs. Harriet Jane Patience from the Claverly Public Works camp on October 4 of last year. The police investigating at Claverly went to the area, where they dug up the remains. It was concluded, however, that they were about 50 years old. The bones were found to be human ones, but their age immediately showed that they had no connection with the Claverly disappearance. The search is still continuing over a large area in the vicinity of Claverly for Mrs. Patience, the 60-year-old wife of Arthur John Patience, Public Works employee, who was living at Claverly at the time of her disappearance.
