THE MISSING WINDWARD
CREW MAY BE STILL ALIVE TOOK PLENTY OF PROVISIONS WELLINGTON, March 8. The Kev. W. S. Rollings, father of the skipper of the missing yacht Windward, states that while mystery up to the present shrouds the crew's movements after leaving the Chathams, many Chatham Islanders cling to the belief that the crew are still affoat and that probably the boat has been dismasted and has been driven south to one of the islands. He points out that they had food sufficient for substantial meals for one month and then could ration for some time. They carried a rifle and cartridges, also fishing tackle, and 40 gallons of water when leaving Welliagton. They had used only six gallons on arrival at the Chathams.
