To.-day the police and friends made a systematic search for Miss Therosa Mead, aged 34, who disappeared on Monday. Constable liings, by means, of a rope, descended the cliff, which is steep and ragged, and made a closes examination of the face of the rock. Ho saw no sighs to indicate that any person had taken to .tho water by way of tho cliff. Unless ono leaped far out one could hardly escape being dashed on tho ragged projections! The tossing sea underneath revealed no trace of the missing lady. The muff and | the coat aud tho owner's abscnce alone suggest that the cliff may be tho place of death. ' ' >
