TWO MEN MISSING
FEARS FOR SAFETY. (Per United Press Association.) Tauranga, June 15. Two men, Daniel Kuka and Andrew Biddis, set out from Tepuna in a launch loaded with timber for Matakana Island on Sunday, and failed to reach home. On Monday morning the launch was found at anchor, but there was no trace of the two men. It appears that the timber fell from the launch, dragging the anchor with it. There was a rough sea running at the time, and it is feared that the men fell overboard and were drowned. Natives are searching the beaches, but as yet no trace of them has been found.
