SAILING TRAGEDY
Body Of One Victim Found
By Telegraph —Press Association
AUCKLAND, May 5.
The body of one of the three naval ratings who disappeared when their 14ft yacht capsized in the channel between Tiritiri and Whangaparaoa Peninsula on April 17, was found on the rocks at the eastern end of the peninsula. It was identified as that of Signalman James William Dallow of Wellington. Dallow and the other two ratings—Ordinary Signalman William Ryan, of Ellerslie, and Ordinary Signalman Desmond Waite, of One Tree Hill—were stationed at Tiritiri Island and took out a yacht during their leave period. The overturned boat was discovered the same night by the auxiliary ketch Endeavour, which brought it back to Auckland.
