ANOTHER WEST COAST DROWNING FATALlTY.—Disaster overtook a party fishing off Parioa Rock, near Muriwai, yesterday, when one of their number, Mr. Patrick Norton, was swept off a rock by a huge breaker and disappeared in the surf. The other two members of the party managed to get ashore. An idea of the treacherous nature of this coast line can be gained from the above pictures, which show some of the rocks at Muriwai at low tide, and the same rocks with the breakers crashing over them.
