THE MOUNT EGMONT FATALITY.
(PBE9S ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, February 10. The weather is very wet, and the mountain is covered with clouds, so it is expected that the party will not get further than the tourists' hut, and will not make the ascent to-day to get Southwood's body. Mr C Smith, of Wellington, the uncle of the deceased, arrived by last night's express, and has identified several articles found on the body. Mr Smith, when in England, obtained the number of his nephew's watch and its maker's name. They are the same as those on the watch found on\ihe body. The works are in perfect order, although the watch had been exposed for ten months. Amongst other things found on deceased were ten £1 notes, a sovereign, four half-sovereigns, a halfcrown, a farthing, and a quarter anna ; also a railway time table, and a railway return ticket to Palmerston North.
