Court proceedings are likely to follow the disappearance of sixty yards of line from the North Beach Surf Club’s reel a few months ago, states a Press Association message from Christchurch. It is understood that a length of the missing ropo has been found. The shortage is said to have seriously hampered rescue work during the North Beach drowning fatality, when at one stage, while the rescuer was in the surf, there remained only twenty-five yards of line bn the reel, instead of the ninety yards there should have been.
