A WOMAN'S HEROISM
AND ITS DISTRESSING FINALE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Rotorua, Saturday. Herbert Heberley, employed by the Tourist Department, who was cutting a track from Rotomahana to Waimanau, did not return home on Wednesday, ana his wife became anxious and set out to make enquiry. She searched all night, over rough scoria furrowed by mountain storm waters, chasms, and yawning crevasses which men were almost afraid to cross in the daytime, and eventually she found her husband buried to the hips in an earthfall, having evidently been stunned by a boulder and unablb to move all day. Probably he died through exposure to the terrible heat. His wife then ran three miles for assistance. Deceased, who was aged 32 years, wa3 a son of the late Joseph Heberley, formerly harbormaster at Nelson.
