SEARCHERS LOSE THEMSELVES

Six-Hour Night Wait In Bush

(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 29.

A mother and her nine-year-old daughter, an 11-year-old nephew, and an eight-year-old niece were lost for six hours in the Waitakere Ranges, near Auckland, during the week-end. On Saturday afternoon, they set out to search for a boy who was missing from a picnic party. Mrs Jeanette Miller, of Pencarrow avenue, Mount Eden, her daughter Joyce, nephew lan Forman, and niece Hazel, had, with other picnickers, been looking for 11-year-old Gordon Cumming, of Mount Eden.

They went up a bush track and got lost when night fell. Falling over logs and fern and sliding down muddy banks, they tried to make their way back. The girls began to get tired and Mrs Miller decided they should sit down and pray searchers would find them. They were found at 11.10 p.m., and reached their homes at 3 a.m. I The boy they were seeking had arrived at a sheep farm, six miles I from the picnic ground, at 6 p.m.
