FIVE. DAYS LOST
child wanders over forty miles from home SYDNEY, Monday. The four-year-old son of a Mossgiel farmer in the far West of New South Wales, who had been missing from his home for five days, was discovered 45 miles away. The parents had given up hope of •inding the child alive and shearers and others had conducted an intensive search for several days. The boy's clothes were in rags and he was very weak from exposure and starvation. He told the searchers that he lived on speargrass. He wandered aimlessly through the grass, which was often much higher than himself.
