fully 150 feet from the river. Between the hut and the river, and surrounding the sheep yards is a dense patch of scrub and high flax, with steep terraces, and it is supposed that Anderson’s body must be somewhere near this spot, as his dog ap parently had come out of it, and found Mr Jackson’s horse. Messrs Thomas and Julian Jackson, A. McFarlane, and ... several others started from the bridge up wards, and Messrs Cameron, H Bailey, W. B. Compton, and others, together with Mounted Constables Bowse and Neill, started from opposite the Spread Eagle Hotel up the river towards the bridge. Whilst going up the river, an accident happened to one of this party, but which, fortunately, was unattended with serious consequences. Mr Bailey, whilst cross ing one of the streams, had his horse washed from under him, so strong was

the current, and had to swim for it. Hit horse was washed down a considerable distance, but eventually got out all safe. The search party reached the bridge, but found no trace of the missing man. A good few here availed themselves of the kind invitation of Mr Andrew McFar lane to partake of some refreshment at his house, which is close by. The re mainder of the search parties then pro ceeded up the river as far as Mcllraith’s hut, but could get no further on horse back, owing to the flood in the river, and the rocky state of the river bed. A man named G. Stevens, who is living in this hut, says that whilst sitting by the fire reading on Monday evening, he heard someone cooey. He went outside the hut and responded to the cooey, and waited for some t ; rae, but heard no more. After leaving their horses at this hut, the search party went up the north bank of the river on foot for a distance of fully

two miles, but without any trace being found. They then returned to Methven. On Thursday another search party, in cluding Messrs A. McClellan, J. Scott, Hussey, Sullivan, and some others, went up as far as Mr Coster’s back hut, which is about six miles above Mcllraith’s. A good number remained at the latter's place, searching in the scrub and flax, and the understanding was that if the former party were successful in their search, they were to signal to the others by lighting a fire. One of the party who went up to Coster’s hut was unfortunately knocked up, and had to be carried about three miles by his comrades. This was a most serious undertaking, as the bush lawyers - and scrub made it very difficult to walk, without having anything to carry. For the purpose of resuscitating the “ weak one” several fires had to be lit, and sundry flasks resorted to, but the smoke of the fires had signalled to the others that they had been successful, and these at once returned to Methven, and spread the report that the body had been found. The party, however, returned unsuccessful in the search, and up to the present time no cine as to the whereabouts of the body has come to light. Mounted-Constables Bowse and Neill deserve great praise for the zeal which they displayed in the search, in fact, too much credit cannot be

given them. Both have been severely scratched with lawyers, and their uni forms completely spoilt and torn almost to shreds. We feel that they are deserv ing of some recompense, if only to re coup them for the loss of their uniforms. We had almost forgotten to mention that

an accident happened to one of them (Constable Rouse). He was crossing one of the streams caused by the overflow of the river near the bridge, when his horse lost his footing and fell head first into a deep hole. He lost his hat and whip, and was drenched to the skin, but was not otherwise hurt. Since writing the above, we hear that a body has been washed up on the sea beach, but it is not known

whether it is that of Anderson. [Up to the time of our going to press, we regret to say that no trace of the unfortunate man pad been discovered.]
