FUNERAL SERVICE AT SEA
LOST ISLAND BAY FISHERMEN.
TWENTY-SIX LAUNCHES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) * V WELLINGTON, Sept. 27. In an effort to determine the fate of the missing launch Santina several Italian launches went out this morning and searched the coastline in ±lia - vicinity of Baring Head. A party of police traversed the coast between _■ Seatoun and Island Bay. . • A funeral service was held this after? ’. i noon by the crews of the Italian fishing fleet one mile and a half east-south-east of the outer rock of Barrett’s Reef. Twenty-six launches left IslandBay at 2 p.m. and the service was organised by ,the Cook Strait Fishermen’s Association. The proceedings occupied about an hour and a half. . The main reason for holding the ser-. vice this afternoon was that it was definitely considered by the fishermen '” that there was no chance of the sur- - • vival of the occupants of the launch. As all fishermen wished to attend the. funeral it was thought better to hold it to-day than wait
