FISHING PARTY OF SIX MISSING
Per Press Association. WHAKATANE, Last Night. A party of six left Matatn on Sunday morning in a launch to fish in the vicinity of Rurima Islands and as they had not returned up to to-day, some anxiety has been felt regarding their safety. The party consisted of J. Herd and his son, J. Smith and Seymour, and two Maori boys named Savage. They took very little with them in the way of provisions as they expected to be back on Sunday evening. Lights have been seen on Rurima Islands and it is considered that the party landed there. During the past few'days the sea has been very rough. It is now moderating and if they are on the Islands the party may be able to get away soon. In the meantime, it is understood passing vessels have been instructed to look out for the party.
