THE KAWHIA MYSTERY
MORE REINFORCEMENTS COMMISSIONER'S STATEMENT ROUGH WEATHER AT TAHAROA As soon as a camp is properly established at Taharoa, further police reinforcements will be drafted to the settlement to assist in the search for the jnissing man, Delu Desai, said Mr D- J. Cummings, Commissioner of Police, to a Waikato Times representative this afternoon. Five additional officers went out to Taharoa this morning, he said, and natives from the settlement who know the district and the lake well have also been giving assistance. In view of the. lack of accommodation in the township, added Mr Cummings, it was not deemed avisable to send more searchers until accommodation was provided, since, according to a telephone message from Taharoa to-day, the weather had become very* rough, with a wind of almost hurricance force blowing and rain setting in.
