DUNEDIN.
This day. The volunteers from Inreroargill who went to Waipapa to aid in the recovery of the dead bodies on the Tararua gire a a graphic account of the hardships and work there. The police had to sleep in wet clothes for days, and had to run about ib bags whilst their clothes wore drying. The odour from the dead bodies sweltering in the sun, was perceptible a quarter of a mile off. They also make serious complaints against Mr Stewart, the representative of the Uuiou Company at the wrecfe
on account of his stinginess and general I disposition to make things uncomfortable all round.
