Among its "New Guinea Items" the Torres Strants Pilot of the 25th ult says:-The Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Le Hunte, has little to add to the story of punishment inflisted on the natives already told. He says, honorer, that both the ill-fated missionaries, Chalmers and Tomkins, were killed together at the ons time; and thus the agonising tale told previously of Mr. Tomkins being a witness of Tamate's murder before he himself was killed is untrue. It is not likely that anything farther, will be done in the way of punishing the natives concerned in the massacres, at any rate, until the south-east season in the Gulf of Tapun is over, or moderates, as it is almost impossible to successfully navigate the Gulf with vessels suitable for its shallow waters during the season
