MISSING WOMAN
BODY FOUND IN HARBOUR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) . WELLINGTON, This Day. The body of Mrs Elsie Mace, who has been missing from her home at Barnard Street, Wadestown, since July 24, was found floating alongside the stone wall about 40yds. from the entrance to the floating dock yesterday. The discovery was made by Mr William Turner, an employee of the Wellington City Council. The body had on it the clothes which Mrs Mace was wearing at the time of her disappearance. For several days after Mrs Mace disappeared the hills surrounding Wellington were combed by parties of trampers and boy scouts in the hope that she might have been suffering from loss of memory and wandered into the hills on the Wadestown-West Coast track. Another theory advanced at the time was that Mrs Mace might have endeavoured to travel to New Plymouth, where she had relatives.
