DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.
IN MOUNTAIN CAMP,
Christchurch, Yesterday. Andrew Neil Henderson, who was left grievously wounded by an accidental rifle discharge in a mountain camp fifty miles from Oxford on Monday, was to-day found by a relief party which set out from Oxford to bring him home. But Henderson had died of his wounds.
When the accident happened Henderson’s companion, Colin Bassett, tended his wounds according to first aid principles and hurried off for help. A party was organised, and with Dr. Burnett, set out for the camp. This party set out on Monday afternoon, but missed the track and were walking till three o’clock this morning. Another party, who went in from another direction, arrived at the camp during the night, but found Henderson dead. So rough is the country, and so difficult the task, that the men are not expected to bring the body out until to-day.
