Prospector’s Body Found The body of Mr John Hudson, prospector, who had been missing for several weeks, was found at Puysegur Point, Southland, on Wednesday. Wedding Presents Btolen Wedding presents, clothing, a suitcase and a child’s money box were stolen from the home of Mr G. L. Henderson, Invercargill, on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs Henderson left home at 3.45 p.m. and locked up the house, but a window was left open, and it is assumed that the thief gained entrance by this means. Onekaka Iron Deposits Doubts whether iron ore exists in Onekaka in deposits of sufficient bulk to allow economic working are becoming evident from test borings which have been in progress for some time. Borings so far have failed, it is understood. to locate other than scattered pockets of ore. Tunnels will lie driven shortly in the hope of finding deposits of economic quantities. Missing Boy and Girl The search for the missing youth Basil Rabe and tbe girl Hazel Fisher, who were swept out into the Firth of Thames in a small dinghy on Monday afternoon, was continued yesterday. The police were informed that a fisherman found the coat of Basil Rabe, with a cigarette case which had been presented to Rabe in the pocket. The coat was found imbedded in seaweed which the fisherman drew to the surface of the sea about half a mile out from the shore at Puru.
