PACIFIC VOYAGES
YACHT’S ADVENTUROUS JOURNEYING S United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph —Copyright SYDNEY, July 17. After an adventurous voyage, the yacht Roxane arrived at 7 p.m. yesterday from Lord Howe Island and Auckland. 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 at Norfolk Island a gale tore the yacht 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 Richard Wellington made for shore in a dinghy, but it was wrecked on the rocks, and he had to scramble ashore. For four days Keith Dawson and Leslie O’Brien cruised inshore before they located Wellington.
