YACHT CAPSIZES
YOUTH DROWNED By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, November 20. When the 14ft yacht Will o’ the Wisp in which he and three other youths were sailing, capsized in the harbour at noon, Roy Stanley (17) was drowned. His companions swam ashore. The yacht was sailing down the harbour in a fresh south-easterly when she capsized. The four occupants clung to the bottom. Two youths swam ashore, the owner of the yacht, Clarence Goodall, remaining with Stanley. As the boat drifted towards the middle of the harbour Stanley left and tried to swim to a beacon. Halfway he seemed to become entangled in seaweed and disappeared. Goodall was picked up by «. dinghy, and the yacht was towed by a launch to the Auckland side of the harbour. Stanley’s body has not yet been recovered.
