LAUNCHES DAMAGED.
HOLES BORED BENEATH WATER LINE. U'KESS ASSOVIATIO» TBLS'i.IAU.) WELLINGTON, May 19. What appears to be a case of wilful destruction occurred at Worser Bay. Two thirty-foot motor-launches which wore anchored in the Bay were discovered this morning to be in a sinking condition. The'boats were beached and an investigation disclosed that holes had been bored in the hulls beneath the water line. The holes'were not very big, and probably were made with a brace and bit or an auger. The littings of both launches were considerably damaged by sea water.
