A Man Lost at Akaroa.

The Ak&roa Mail of Tuesday gives par ticulars of the rescue by a search party of a grass seeder named Luke Haughey, who had been lost for three days. It appears that ■while proceeding from the Hill Top via the Purau track to Holmes' Bay on the night of Tuesday, 16th, Haughey, missed his way, and enquiry having been made for him, and no tidings obtained, a search party was formed anH set out on Friday, 19th. After I searching hilla and valleys for several hours the searchers found the missing man in a recumbent position at the foot of a rocky prominence situate in the creek in the valley, and which causes the creek to partake of the nature of a waterfall at this point. All hands were quickly on the spot, and the poor man, who waa only in a semi conscious state, was given some brandy, which greatly revived him, and he was then carried to a bit of level ground and ex amined to ascertain if he were injured —fractured limbs, etc. — but luckily] it was found he had sustained nothing of' that nature ; he was forthwith carried &r gently as circumstances and the uneven nature of the ground permitted to within a short distance of Mr J. Hunt's residence, where ahorse and sledge engaged in con voying bags of grass seed to a certain point along the route the party were following, was kindly placed at the disposal of the poor fellow, and a tolerably easy couch hav ing been improvised, he waa conveyed along until at length Mr Hunt's was reached, where he waa immediately given refresh ments—as indeed were all the party. Haughey was subsequently conveyed to the Akaroa hospital, where he received every attention that his circumstances required.
