The Marina, which is owned by Mr. F. Granich, ol Mangawai, left early in tho morning on a trip to the deep sea fishing grounds off the coast. Mr. Franich was in charge and the passengers included Dr. W. H. Horton, oil Auckland, president of the Mangawhai Deep Sea Fishing Club, Mrs. Morton and three other Auckland residents.
