A young . man named Percy Burgoyne, son of the teacher of tho school at Whakarcwarewa, who was visiting at Mr Turnbull's place. During the latter's absence Burgoyne was left in charge of the placto but on Mr Turnbull's return Burgjjhe was not to be found. A search' wis m a de by Mr. Turnbull, who subsequently found Burgoyne's body in a small Pool of Water in a creek close by.
