THREE FISHERS DROWNED.
THEIR YACHT CAPSIZED. (by cable—press association copyright.) (Australian and n.z. cable association.)
MELBOURNE, March 3
A yacht containing three men, George Cooper, Walter Milliner, an Harry Bryant, capsized in Port Philip Bay, and all were drowned. The men set out early in the morning on a fishing expedition. Later the yacht was seen capsized and drifting. There was no trace of the missing men.
Nobody witnessed the tragedy, the cause of which is unknown, but it is surmised that a sudden change of wind caught the craft, which was carrying a big spread of canvas, and capsized her.
