Search Continues for Missing Tennis Ball

January 2006

totaranui - The search continued this evening for a missing tennis ball in the Nelson area. The ball was last seen entering dense bush near Totararanui Camping Ground after being firmly struck by Jacob McIntyre, 12, off his sister's bowling. Family members and campers joined the search, concentrating on a thick clump of macrocapa about where the ball looked like it went. The search will continue until nightfall, though fears are growing that the ball might have gone all the way through the thicket and rolled down the slope to the sea.
