A man named Holdon, who finished a job 20 miles below Taumaranui, and started to walk to the township, missed the track and subsisted on fern roots for nearly three weeks. He became inoapable of walking, and sheltered under a tree. When discovered by another wanderer be was in a very emaciated condition. The latter went for help. A party of sis set out, and tho rescuers carried Holden on their shoulders five milo3; then a stretcher was procured, and a journey of 16 miles tj Taumaranui began. Holden is being sent to Wa kato Hospital. His legs and j feet are in a dreadful condition. Mortification is threatened, and it is doubtful if bis limbs oau bo saved.
