THOMAS McNAB, who originally emigrated to America, but returned to London in 1866. There married a woman named Dow, or Dor, and sailed for Australia. From thence, early in 1867 he is supposed to have sailed with a cargo of provisions for New Zealand. He was last heard of at Dunedin, and there spoke about going to South America.

DONALD M’KENZIE, who came originally from Culloden, Inverness, to New Zealand, and has not been heard of by his friends for many years.

The undersigned would be thankful for any information respecting these “Missing Friends.”
