YACHT’S TASMAN TRIP
EOXANE IN SYDNEY (Reed. July 17, noon) SYDNEY, July 17. The yacht Roxane arrived at 7 p.m. yesterday from Lord Howe Island and Auckland. The Roxane had an adventurous voyage. The crew consists of three New Zealanders. The yacht was hove-to for a day and a-half on the way to Norfolk Island owing to a cyclone and the sails were badly torn. During the stay of the yacht at Norfolk Island a gale tore the craft from her moorings, breaking both anchor cables. The crew had no option but to put to sea and work under reduced canvas around to the sheltered side of the island. Here, Mr. Richard Wellington made for the shore in a dinghy, but it was wrecked on the rocks and he had to scramble ashore. For four days Messrs. Keith Dawson and Leslie O’Brien cruised inshore before they located Mr. Wellington.
