THE MISSING INSURANCE AGENT.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Stratford, April 9. No further traces have been discovered of tho missing tourist Southwood. Constables Salmon and Macdonald returned last night after searching for two days in company with a mountain guide. They report having had a terrible time owing to the extreme cold and continuous enow and rain. Mr Smith, of Wellington, uncle of the missing man, arrived on Monday from Wellington, but is satisfied everything has been done and returns to-day. He offers a reward of £2O to auyone who will find and deposit the body of Southwood at Stratford. _____
Hawera, April 9. Thomas Hastie, son of a well-known settler, states that on Thursday last, as he and two others were making tho ascent of Mount Egmont from Dawson's Falls, they heard a voice, as they believed, twice, and also a noise as of a falling stone. This was on the other side of the cone. As there is no information of anyone but Mr Southwood attempting the ascent from tho Stratford side, it is surmised that it was his voice which was hoard. Hastie and party could not get over the ice for the last fifty yards, and therefore did not complete the ascent. They saw no one.
