The others went on and left the deceased behind cleaning his rifle. Apparently the weapon, which was a magazine riile, was loaded, and in handling it an accidental explosion followed. The sound of a shot was heard, and on rushing back deceased was found lying on the ground with a bullet wound in the left breast. Death was instantaneous. The late Mr. Wyvern Williams was the third son of Mr. T. C. Williams, of Auckland. He was married in July last to Miss Mason, of Hastings.
