FISHERMAN’S BODY FOUND

Search For Second Man Continues (New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, April 28. The body of Athol Joseph Wadone of the two fishermen, who were on the Bluff fishing smack, Gekeita, found wrecked last week on Coal Island in Preservation Inlet was recovered during the week-end. The body was found washed up on the rocky windswept coast by a party of searchers about half a mile on the seaward side of the wrecked boat. It is believed that relatives of the dead man were in the party. This morning, a police party, consisting of Sergeant J. Harman and Constables C. Graeme and G. Wilson was flown into Preservation Inlet by amphibian aircraft. The body was flown back, arriving in Invercargill at 6.10 to-night. The police party is continuing the search for the other missing man, Cyril Waddick, a brother of the dead man.
