In view" of the intense cold grave feai-s are entei-tained as to their safety. Mr Keller is a most expei’ienced surveyor and bushman, being hardy and having a knowledge of the heavy country.
NO NEED FOR ALARM.
Taumarunui, June 26,
It is considered locally that there is no need for excessive alarm over the non-arrival at Taupo of Mr P. Keller, Public Works District Engineer, of Taumarunui, and Mr J. Corbett, road ovei-seer. The idea of their being lost is scouted, as Mr Corbett formerly resided in Taupo for some time and knows the district well. * Later So far there is no trace of the missing men, Keller and Corbett, from this end of the Wiaimiha-Tau-po route.
