WRECK OF A LAUNCH.
BY TELEGRAPH—PUEKS ASSOCIATION
WHANGAREI, June 18
A party of live left Limestone Island by a launch on Sunday on a fishing trip outside the heads. When passing close to a small island of the Hen and Chickens Group the engine broke down, and the launch was dashed on to the rocks by the rough seas, and totally wrecked. All the party managed to scramble ashore safely. Anxiety at their nonreturn caused the despatch yesterday of a search launch, which rescued the shipwrecked men.
