Two Islanders Missing

p. 37 · Read in the full issue

THURSDAY IS., January 14.

Three weeks ago two old South Sea Islanders, Willy Ambrym and Charlie Mallicole, who had been permitted to re side at Port Lihou, and had been visiting Thursday Island for Christmas, left for their home in a sailing dinghy. It was ascertained that they had not reached home. They were last seen on the morn ing of December 27, making their way in squally weather through a boat passage at the Prince of Wales Island. It seems certain that they have been lost, for an intense search of surrounding localities has revealed no trace of the missing men.

Both were formerly engaged in sugar growing and pearling work.
