SAFETY OF MISSING BOYS.
Two boy.s, one named Read, of about twelve yeais of age, son of a Jisherinan living on the I'oro l<oad, and another named Welt, somewhat older, son of Mr Antonio Wetl, left the Pin t on Tuesday in a boat named the Cambria. They were supposed to have sailed for Cable May, mid some anxiety was felt yesterday respecting them. We are glad to say, however, that they and the boat are safe. It seems that the lads took with them a load ol fencing wire for Wangainoa and went there, intending to return as far as Cable Hay after delivering it. Mr Samuel Friend, who lias been at the Wangainoa Half-way Accommodation House and returned to town this morning, informs us that two young men, named Jiird and Best, called at his place yesterday, anil told him tlia 1 ; they had shortly 'before seen the two lads at the Wangainoa beach. After landing their load,' they had put oil again for fable liay, but were driven back by a S.W. wind. The boat came ashore and was high' and dry yesterday. They hope to get her off tomorrow.
