HELD BY AUSTRALIAN BLACKS REPORT TO POLICE (United Press Association—By Kleotrie Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 17th July, 9.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Thursday Island police have been informed by friendly blacks that several white women are living in captivity with dangerous Culedou Bay natives and the suspicion is strengthened that the women comprise the survivors of the steamer Douglas Mawson, which foundered in the Gulf of Carpentaria a few years ago. The police accordingly have- given friendly natives pencils and paper to take to the women on which they may write a message which would facilitate their rescue alive.
