ONLY ONE COULD SWIM
ROTORUA LAUNCH TRAGEDY Per Press Association. ROTORUA, June 4. The body of Gustave Wolfgram, the last victim of the Rotorua launch tragedy, was recovered yesterday. At the inquest to-day, a verdict of accidental death by drowning was returned. The evidence showed that deceased had divested himself of a heavy military overcoat. Reports that cries were heard for a long period suggest that deceased remained trying to help his comardes, who were not swimmers. The boat was a cranky craft, unsafe in a seaway.
