KETCH IN GALE.
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 18. A gale encountered on Tuesday night by the ketch Water Lily in which seven old boys of Christ’s College are en route from New Zealand to Tonga made it necessary for the vessel to heave to for some hours. A wireless message to this effect transmitted from the ketch by short wave was picked up by an Auckland amateur. Only brief details were given, hut the vessel reported “All well,” although the weather was threatening. The ketch’s position at eight o’clock to-night was given as longitude 175 degrees and latitude 31 degrees, which is about 200 miles north of Russell. That port was left on Sunday.
