Fishing Boat Sank Twice
(From Our Own Reporter) GREYMOUTH, May 22. The fishing boat Pegasus Wake, which sank at her moorings beside the Greymouth wharf fast Thursday and was refloated the following day after the Greymouth Fire Brigade had pumped water out, sank again yesterday in the Blaketown lagoon. The boat was pumped out again today, and was towed to the slipway for repairs. The owner of the vessel, Mr K. Stewart, of Hokitika, said he thought that a defective gland nut in the propeller caused the sinkings.
