THE MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY.
SEARCH PARTIES AT WORK. By Telegraph —Press Association. Taihape, Thursday. The search party which went up the creek yesterday to search for the missing man Bingham returned this morning without having found any trace. Miss Coates is now only suffering from sore feet. Search parties are out to-day in all directions. BINGHAM'S BODY FOUND. DROWNED IN A STREAM. Ohakune. Last Night. Word was received from a search party about five o'clock this afternoon to the effoc-t that the body of Bingham had been recovered about 9.15 this morning by a party consisting of Messrs. Blyth, Christie, Hyde, Tansev and Carr. The body was found in about five feet of water, about half a mile, above the waterfall and seven miles up the creek from the viaduct.
The party which found the body returned and left the body to be brought in by a relay party, which is expected to arrive here to-morrow.
The stream where the body was found is very rough, and Bingham apparently met his death by falling over a ledge. The body is not badly knocked about, but there is a wound on the forehead, nrobablv caused by striking a boulder in his fall.
The inquest will probably be hdd tomorrow.
