A MISSING CHILD
SEARCH PARTY OUT. DUNEDIN, August 24. Four hundred and fifty men and boys, headed by forty-three police, unsuccessfully searched the -Tomahawk district yesterday for Valda Shirley Eggers, aged two years, who had been missing from her parents' home since Tuesday afternoon. The police have been searching throughout the week and dragging a huge lagoon, while on Friday a resident, T. Pereira, and a constable courageously dived into the dangerous surf and searched the caves under Lawyer s Head. The authorities are now, convinced, that the child fell into the lagoon from a bridge, the body being still there or swept to sea. To-morrow Flying-Officer Olson will Hy over the lagoon. This method of observation is adopted on Sydney beaches to detect sharks.
