France Skeet, John Lyford and Keith Garrity, three Greytown lads, spent Sunday night in the Tararuas. Early in the morning they started out on a deer stalking expedition. Owing to the rough going they were late in returning and when darkness came, decided to camp for the night. When they did not return on Sunday night arrangements were made for search parties and early on Monday morning Constable Gregor and a party set out into the hills. Fortunately they met the lads on their way out none the worse for their experience.
