LOST ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Further particulars reach us per Press Association message from New Plymouth. It appears that Miss Oxenhara had made the ascent with a young man named Locke, and when a mist came on they lost their bearings near the crater. She was already exhausted, and Locke left her to endeavour to recover the track. Returning, he could not find her, and a search party under Guide Murphy met Locke descending, he being almost distracted at the unfortunate turn of events, but the party failed to find the missing lady. After three hours another party ascended, when Guide Murphey found the body, but life was extinct. It will bo a difficult task to bring the body down, but there is hope that it will be effected to-morrow.
