Weary search in Endless Sandhills for missing railway man
A 40 man search party led by Sergeant E V Marden combs sand hill amphitheatres near Manindie for George Hopwood missing since December at a railway camp. The 419 degree heat drains the crew as another quarry yields no sign. Water scarcity and extreme heat hinder the mission with searchers footsore and tired. The desert country offers little cover and the man is presumed lost in the sun scorched terrain.
