SUPPOSED FATAL ACGIDENT.
« [BT TELEGRAFH—FHESS ASSOCIATION.] NELSON, This Day. The search for Mr. G. W. Lightband and the lad Harry Jackson, who are missing from a Canadian canoe at Rabbit Island, was continued unremittingly yesterday. On Thursday a partly submerged canoe was seen by persons who were sailing in a boat, but they were unable to approach it owing to the wind and flood. This canoe is no longer visible, and is still untraced. A slouch hat belonging to Lightband, an unmarked handkerchief, a belt with the name " H. D. Jackson," and four loaves of bread in a sack, near where the canoe was seen, have been found, but no other trace of the missing boatmen It is now feared that a fatality has occurred, and the faintest hopes only are entertained of seeing them again.
