TRAWLER STILL MISSING
ALL SEARCHES FAIL All night radar-searches last week for the missing trawler, Tarl, by inter-island steamers on the LytteltonWellington run, failed. Four R.N.Z.A.F. Vampire jets flying from Christchurch airport to Ohakea R.N.Z.A.F. station on Saturday* also searched but did not detect any wreckage. The jets and also a National Airways Dakota searched the Kaikoura coast on Saturday afternoon after a report that what appeared to be a derelict boat was sighted off Kiki Bay, eight miles south of Kaikoura. in the morning. The co-o'rdinator of the Search and Rescue Organisation (Mr L. E. Duke) said last night that Kaikoura fishermen believed the object seen by the Christchurch men was a jagged rock. The present wind would bring any derelict ashore and Kaikoura police had been asked to warn local residents to keep a look-out for any debris.
