PEARLING FLEET DISASTER
TEN VESSELS STILL MISSING Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PERTH, April 2. (Received April 2, at 11 a.m.) It is known definitely that four luggers were wrecked on the Lapcede Islands, and that the lives of at least thirty-seven Asiatics have been lost as a result of the cyclone which struck the pearling reef near Broome last week. It is impassible to state accurately how many boats are still not accounted for, but prominent pearlers state .that there are ten. If these fears are confirmed it will increase the death roll to 135.
