ADVENTURE IN DINGHY
THREE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS GREAT ANXIETY OF PARENTS Three Napier Iligli School boys caused their parents much anxiety as the result* of an adventure in a borrowed dinghy. The boys were sent to school, but they apparently played truant, as they wcro seen about the Inner Harbour in the afternoon. About 5 p.m. they were seen in a dinghy making for the open sea. About 8.i5 they were observed by some men in a launch near a vessel which was ■ loading cargo in the roadstead. Their failure to return home roused the anxiety of their parents, and the police were informed. Steps were immediately taken, and the whole of the beach in the vicinity of the port was carefully searched. A launch searched the roadstead for two hours, and a parent of one of the boys spent the whole night searching the beach. In the morning he went with a friend along the coast as far as Tangoio. Vessels and trawlers were asked to keep a look-out. In the afternoon the dinghy was found beached near the breakwater and a little later the boys were found camping some distance from the town.
