SEA FUNERAL HELD
MISSING FISHERMEN FURTHER SEARCH FAILS (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. In ail effort to determine the fate of the missing launch Santina, several Italian launches went out this morning, and searched the coastline in the vicinity of Baring Head, and a party ot police traversed the coast between Heaton n and Island Bay. A funeral service was held tins afternoon by crews of the Italian fishing fleet, one mile and a-half east southeast of the outer rock of Barrett’s Reel. Twentv-six launches left Island Bay at 2 p.in., and the service was organised by the Cook Strait Fishermen’s Association. The proceedings occupied about an hour and a-half. The main reason for holding the service this afternoon was that it was definitely considered hv the fishermen that there was no chance of the survival ot the occupants of the launch, and as all the fishermen wished to attend the funeral service it was thought better to hold it to-day than to wait until later.
