THE MISSING EXPLORERS.
PAPUAN RESIDENT MORE HOPEFUL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Mrs. Gilmour (wife of a Papuan missionary), who was welcomed at the Methodist Conference to-day, in an interview regarding the probable fate of the exploring party that went to prospect the new coal field, stated that when the character of the country and the conditions existing were taken into consideration, the non-appearance of the expedition at an appointed place and time might be easily accounted for by sickness. If any member of the expedition contracted a bad attack of malarial fever when inland, it might last for weeks. She did not think it likely that the party had been attacked by hostile natives, as they understood the natives well and were well-known to them.
