LAUNCH D ESTROY ED. AUCKLAND, Dec. 1. Burnt to the water’s edge, a 26-foot fishing launch filled and sank in deep water off Tiritiri Island yesterday morning. The sole occupant. Jack Sanderson, of Brighton Road, Parnell, escaped in a dinghy to the launch Wheta, which had picked up Sanderson’s launch on Thursday in a crippled condition.
