WITH FOUR MEN ABOARD. There is considerable anxiety being felt at Bluff in regard -to a launch which left Bluff oa JUonday last for Ruapuke in order to obtain a load of fish from Wixon's cutter (states the 'Southland Times')- Four Bluff residents named Lightfoot, Conway, White and Bowers were aboard the launch. It is known that the load of fish was duly transferred from the cutter to the launch on Wednesday and that the launch headed tor Bluff on Thursday nwnirig. Since then no tiding-s have come to hand regarding the little, craft and it is feared "that in the height of the heavy gale which was raging at the time, the launch capsized. Two of the men in the launch were married and two of them were single.
