Man Still Missing
A police search round the foreshore and a sweep by an aircraft of Lake Ellesmere yesterday revealed no trace of Corporal D. Holbrey, of 14 Bentley Street, Avonhead, who is presumed drowned after a sailing dinghy capsized on the lake on Sunday afternoon.
Corporal Holbrey and his wife Betty were in the boat when it capsized. Mrs Holbrey, who held her husband up for hours, struggled ashore after mooring the boat in shallow water on Monday morning. Her condition in Princess Margaret Hospital last evening was reported to be satisfactory.
