At Shag Point yesterday at noon, two little children about three years old were missed. One was a girl named Paterson, and the other a boy named Hollis. Search 'was made all the afternoon without avail, and the conclusion come to was that they had fallen over the cliffs into the sea. This conclusion proved to be correct, as today the little girl’s body was washed up on the beach. The father of the girl Paterson works at the Brunner mine, West Coast; and Hollis left Shag Point two days ago to seek for employment, and it is at present unknown where he is.
