FIVE MEN MISSING
GRAVE FEARS FOR SAFETY (United Press Association) OPOTIKI, This Day. Grave anxiety is felt for the safety of five men who left Kutarere on Friday on a fishing expedition to Raurimu islands, intending to return on Sunday. So far nothing has been heard or seen of the party, and the heavy sea whipped by the easterly gale is such as to cause relatives much anxiety. The names are Allen Abbot, John King, Harold Jones and two Maoris. The only hope is that the boat is sheltering at the islands.
It is too rough for a launch to search, but Captain Cash, of the motor ship Otimai, now sheltering at Ohiwa, will endeavour to put to sea to-day in search of the little vessel.
