LAUNCH ON THE ROCKS. Last Saturday evening two motor boats at the boat harbour, Sumner, near Christchurch. broke adrift. One ot them, the Ariki, drifted out to sea with the ebbing tide, and tho other was stranded in the harbour. At an early hour on Sunday morning the Ariki was seen making for the shore, and the lifeboat crew sought to rescue it. There was a heavy swell on, and before the lifeboat could reach her the Ariki was driven against the outer wall of the harbour and on to tho boulder beach holes being stove- in on either side. , Tho crew of the lifeboat hauled tho boat ashore and left it on the road near tho slip. The incident gave rise to a false rumour that tho lifeboat and crew had been driven on the rocks. THE JOHN.
