i otoiuta June 30
At day break this morning, the search was resumed, a number of horsemoa being out and a largo number of nativis, induced by the reward of £2O ' ffjrod by the Government ag-nt (.Vlr Johnston), and a further sum of £lO offered by Mrs Cotton. The unfortnna e man’s foo’steps can bo traced on the racecourse for some distance ; down the Whakarewa track and Ist other places. Up to the time of writing ho himself hn not b:en found. It was at first believed ho mnat have either fallen into a boiling spring or crawled into the scrub, and in his weakened condition succumbed to exposure, but a Maori baa discovered his tracks five miles along the taupo road, and there is still hopes that he may yet be found alive. Horsemen have gone oat* Great sympathy is felt for Mrs Cotton. A search party has just arrived to night from the Taupo road. Tracks were distinctly traced for a dozen miles, rni were lost in the fern on the back of the tVol kuku creek at Horohoro. Another search will be made to-morrow.
