Deowned.—The " West Coast Times" reports : —The body of a man was discovered in the surf about one mile and a-half from town yesterday morning, and was recovered by some persons and conveyed to the Montezuma Hotel. It was subsequently identified as that of the body of Mr Frederick Bird, a cattle dealer and settler near Okarito. It would appear, from all that could be gleaned, that he was on his way from that district to Hokitika, and was last seen by Mr Bell, the ferryman, at the Little Wangauui. At present it it not known where or how he came by his death.
