Victims of Avalanche Progressing Satisfactorily (Per Press Association). INVERCARGILL, Last Night. The condition of Mr John McLauchlan, of Mandeville, and Air William Mackay, of Caversham. Dunedin, who were seriously injured in the avalanche at Homer tunnel yesterday and brought to Invercargill during the night by ambulance, was reported to-night to be satisfactory. The other five injured men are evidently being treated at the base camp. As a result of the accident all worn has been temporarily-suspended while there is any possibility of further falls and the camp has been removed to a place of safety. This afternoon an endeavour was being made to bring out all women and children from Homer to Cascade Creek, but everything would depend on the s:ate of the road, which is said to be covered with snow to a depth of over three feet.
