BOATING FATALITIES

TWO MEN DROWNED. (BY TKLEGRAPH — PRE&S ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, 19th August. The feaws that were entertained for the safety of the launch reported as missing from Coromandel are practically confirmed, as wreckage which came ashore has been recognised by a nephew of Mr. Peddle as being part of the missing Vessel. When the launch left Whangapoua, Harbour there was a strong easterly wind blowing. Mr. S. W. P. Peddle was well known in the Hawkes Bay district, where he was engaged many years sheepfarming and sawmilling. He was a bachelor, with two brothers and three sisters. His companion, Mr. William Brown, had a wife and two children in Glasgow. SWAMPED IN THE BREAKERS. WESTPORT, 19th August. A boat, presumably belonging to a Frenchman named Louis Tardi, a resident of Westport, got into the breakers off Cape Fouhyind this afternoon and was swamped and the occupant drowned. No one got a very clear view of the accident. The harbour tug went out and searched the vicinity, but saw nothing of the boat or the missing man. Tardi had been in Westport some years ago as cook on a sailing vessel. He had artistic tastes which were, given effect to in paintings in water-colour and oils. As far as is known lqcally he has no relatives in New Zealand. DEATH FROM INJURIES (by telegraph— press association.) AUCKLAND, 19th August.
