May, with a coxswain, Ray Sutton, who had one of the club's boats out on Wednesday evening, had a trying experience. They crossed the harbour early in the evening and went ashore at Charteris Bay to visit friends there. On setting out to return to Lyttelton it was found that the wind hau raised a jobble on the water which made progress very hazardous. Alter three attempts they gave it up. Some anxiety had been caused in Lyttelton by their long absence, but fears were set at rest when, at 9.30 p.m. Mr F. E. Sutton, father of the coxswain, received a telephone message that the trio were stranded at Charteris Bay and that the boy had been given a bed at the St. John's Bible Class camp. Mr Sutton'brought the three back to Lyttelton by car shortly before midnight. rpo Let, 2 large Rooms, use conveiiiences. Reasonable rent. A.W., "Press" Office, Lyttelton. 8024 r S Fawn Crepe Soles,.
