Skull of Missionary James Chalmers Believed Found
WORD has just been received in London of the finding of a skull which is believed to be the skull of the late Mr. James Chalmers, who, it will be remembered, was killed and eaten by Papuan cannibals in New Guinea. Mr. Hunt, a missionary to New Guinea, found it, and carried it to Sydney. He also found the dispatch box of the veteran missionary, which contained his diary, written up to the eve of his massacre, also his will. Mr. Hunt thinks Mr. Chalmers and his companion met their horrible fate through arriving at a village, where, in consequence of the erection of some sacred building, a tribal cannibal feast was in contemplation.
