They were unable to scale the high cliffs in the dark of night but as soon as the first streaks of dawn were visible they commenced the arduous climb reaching Port Charles post office, at ten this morning. The trawler had been operating in the Bay of Plenty and was on its way to Auckland with a load of fish.
