The personal effects and other baggage ana paraphernalia or some of tlu.;=o who died in the South still lie at tho Tourist Office, Christchurch, where they wero left when tho adventurers went South.
A rumour was current in town yesterday morning that tho bcdy of Captain Scott had been brought back by the Terra Nova. Mr Kinaey, when asked what facts lay behind the tale,, gave it a most complete and emphatic denial. It is stated that the sad news of tho happening was given to Mrs Wilson, the wife of one of those who perished, on Monday night. Information has been received in Lyttelton that the Terra Nova will arrive off Lyttelton Heads between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning. The Lyttelton Harbour Board's tug. with Captain Thorpe, harbourmaster, will go out to meet tho ship. Lieutenant Pennell and Dr. Atkinson will also go out in tho tug. The Terra Nova will probably reach Lyttelton about 11 o'clock.
Flags wero half-mast high on all public and private buildings in Lyttelton yesterday. Tlie merchant service also paid its tribute to the memory of Captain Scott and his party, every ship in Port lowering her flags to half-mast.
