THREE MEN IN A BOAT.
The three men who were blown out tc sea in an open boat from Mohinau on Sunday turned up at Gore Bay, Cheviot, safely the same dav in a vrry exhausted conditiorj. It appears they were blown out by a very strong westerly gale, and when many mjles off shore the wind went round to the eastward and blew them towards the shore, and they eventually landed twenty-three miles farther up the coast than Motunau. The Lyttelton Harbor Board's tug was out all Monday afternoon searching for the Wit, :ind had a. very rough time in returning to Lyttelton against a high wind.
