ANOTHER BOATING MYSTERY
FOUR MEN REPORTED MISSING (Received May 24, 9.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 24. Another boating mystery, similar to the disappearance of the Thompson brothers, in the same locality and, according to reports, concerning the same launch, is reported. Four men who engaged a launch to go fishing on the Hawkesbury river are missing. An intensive search is being carried out. Later it was definitely established that the launch engaged by the four missing men was that formerly hired by the Thompsons. It has since been repaired. The identity of the missing men is not clearly established. They engaged the boat on Saturday morning with the object of fishing at the entrance of the Hawkesbury river. High seas and bad weather since have prevented police boats from searching the coast. .Grave fears are entertained for the men’s safety. They had intended to return the launch on Saturday afternoon. A motor-car belonging to one of the men and some of their clothing remain unclaimed at the launch proprietor’s shed.
