MUCH DAMAGE DONE
MUSTERERS' ORDEAL
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day. It was announced this morning that the railway line both north and south is open. Damage done to city verandahs by the weight of snow ''is estimated at thousands of pounds. The Iron and Steel Company's collapsed roof involves £2000. Three musterers were trapped in the hills behind Roxburgh for three days with little food. They got out yesterday through drifts some times 50 feet deep, and were met by a rescue party halfway. Heavy rain is now falling and this should cause a rapid thaw.
