Ruapehu search
Yesterday morning 44 search and rescue volunteers were still searching for John Brough, 11, of Raetihi, lost on the rugged south western slopes of Mt Ruapehu. John was in a party of eight scouts and two adults who spent Saturday night in theJVlangaturuturu Hut. On Sunday morning, after the party walked to Lake Surprise, it was realised that John was missing, and one of the adults walked to Turoa Skifields to raise the alarm. Meanwhile the other adult and three of the scouts went back to the lake to look for him, but he could not be found. A search later on Sunday by six volunteers failed to find the boy and search and rescue teams from Ohakune, Taihape, Taumarunui and Wanganui were mobilised. At midday Monday the boy had still not been found.
