MISSING TRAMPERS.
LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUE. EXCEPTIONALLY BAD WEATHER. SEARCH BEING' INTENSIFIED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Monday. Exceptionally had weather during the week-end greatly restricted the activities of search parties. The missing trampers are: Miss M. Williams, of Wanganui; Dr. W. B. Sutch, of Palmerston North; Mr E. Hill, of Aokautere, near Palmerston North; Mr A. H. O’Keefe, of Wellington. It is considered by experienced trampers that every day that elapses makes more slender the hope of finding them alive. The prospects of their survival after their exposure to the rigorous conditions that have prevailed during the past few days are stated to be poor, unless they have been fortunate enough to find some adequate shelter. Meanwhile the search efforts are being intensified.
