A sad fatality is believed to have occurred on Mount Egmont on Thursday last. A young man named William Southwood left here on horseback to make the ascent, and not having returned on Friday a party went to look for him, on Friday mght having a terribly rough time. -' They found his horse, overcoat, and pocket-book. Yesterday another search party of twenty-nine, with Constable Levy, went up, but only found his gun and leggings, just below the snow line, when a heavy snow storm compelled them to return to camp. Three of the parly stayed there all night, intending to resume the search to-day if the weather permits. Southwood was a travelling agent for the Government Life Insurance. There is very little hope of his being found alive. Holitika, April 7.
