Further particulars of the finding of the body of Mr. Leon Krasker, pearler, of Shark Bay, whose death in the bush was reported some four weeks ago, have been received, and from these it appears that Mr. Krasker left Denham for Herald Bight on September 22 and should have returned on the 24th.

On the morning of the 28th, Mr. William Sunter, pearler of Shark Bay left Denham with a lad named Ernest Adams to search for Mr. Krasker and when about three miles from Denham they met a colored man named Joe Hanup, who was in Mr. Krasker's employ at Herald Bight on the pearling ground.

Hanup was carrying Mr. Krasker's artificial leg and said he had found the leg on the track the night before but did not see any thing of Mr. Krasker. They returned to Denham and at 8 a.m. they again left in company with Mr. Edwards, Pearling Inspector and Mr. William Thomas. When about 12 miles from Denham and 1 1/2 miles north of the water tank they came across Mr. Krasker's body under a wattle tree about ten yards off the track.

The body was lying in a position which indicated that deceased died very easily, and no signs of any struggle were noticeable. Mr. Edwards picked up Mr. Krasker's pocket book which was lying behind his head and read the following to his companions written in deceased's handwriting :

"I fell off my horse one hour before my destination and broke my leg. I start back for the tank and failed. Where you will find me the thirst killed me. I am sorry to die before life time, my cherir, I loved until my last. I leave everything to you. Don't worry too much, suppose everything for the best.I expected relief. I kiss you my last. Kiss my children for me and also my parents .
Your loving husband."

This was signed by the deceased. Mr. Sunter then left Mr. Edwards and Mr. Thomas in charge of the body, and continued onto Herald Bight to inform Mr Adams of Mr. Krasker's fate and when a mile and a half along the track he picked up a visiting card belonging to the deceased with the following words written thereon:
"4 o'clock on 22nd and have not reached tank, it is yet too long, and I suffer much with thirst. L.K."

About a mile further on Mr. Sunter picked up a legging, and another visiting card belonging to deceased which was found stuck in the side of the legging had the following words written on it:
"I fell off my horse, broke my leg. Trying to reach the tank. September 22."

The body was brought in to Denham, where the burial took place.
