Yacht Taken Aboard Japanese Ship
(New Zealand Press Association) TAURANGA, December 5. The 45ft ferro-concrete yacht La Paloma, which was picked up last night by the log ship Oriental Morn 200 miles north of North Cape, is unseaworthy.
The master of the Oriental Morn (Captain Lee Yung Whan) has told Mr P. Entwistle, the Mount Maunganui manager of Russell and Somers, the ship’s agents, this in a cable. Mr Entwistle received advice of the rescue of the two men aboard the yacht, Mr James Sands, the yacht's owner, of Auckland, and an Australian, Mr William Armstrong, at 2.30 a.m. today. The Oriental Morn, which her way to Tauranga to
load logs, is due to arrive at 8 a.m. tomorrow. The police and relatives of the men were unaware the yacht had struck trouble until the freighter radioed Taurranga with the news. The 16,339-ton Oriental Morn apparently has the yacht on deck, but no details are available of the rescue. The men are reported to be uninjured. Mr Sand’s sister, Mrs J. Johnson, said the men left last month to work on a friend’s fishing boat from a port north of Whangarei. $
