LOSS OF FISHING BOAT
Search For Bodies Again Prevented
(New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, June 30.
A 38-knot wind whipping Puysegur Point, on the southwest extremity of New Zealand, stopped a police party flying in from Invercargill today to search for the bodies of two fishermen whose boat was wrecked there on Saturday night. The men, Alexander Peters, aged 30, and Keith Ernest Scott, aged 37, both of Halfmoon Bay. Stewart Island, were the crew of the fishing boat Seaforth, the biggest of the island's fleet. Lighthouse keepers and their families are still searching the beaches but the chances of the men’s bodies being found are considered remote.
