NAMES OF THE MISSING. By Cable —Press Association—Copyris*nt. Sydney, February 21. The names of Mr. Smith's party who are missing in Papua are:—Bell, Chief Inspector of Native Affairs; Pratt, of the survey; Beaver, magistrate at Daru; and Ryan, Beaver's assistant. Massey, of Thursday Island, is in charge of the launch, and Baker is the engineer on the launch. i
ANOTHER THEORY. Sydney, February 21. The Rev. Mr. Butcher, of Papua, who is visiting Sydney, thinks that probably the party was caught in the bore on the river, which is ten feet high at this time of the year, and very dangerous. The expedition was unlikely to be over-, whelmed by natives, although the country is inhabited by cannibals.
