ROUND TRIP WENT ON TILL MIDNIGHT.
LAUNCH PARTY HAD TO PULL ASHORE. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND, June 24. The breakdown of the launch on Lake Tarawera caused some discomfort to a “round trip” party on Saturday, j The launch had just cleared Moura Point when the breakdown Occurred. Mr A. Warbriek (one of the few sur- | vivors of the Native Rugby team of I 1888-18S9) decided that it was not safe to proceed with oars for fear of drifting out into the lake. He worked inshore and lighted a fife, which was seen by Mrs War brick, who correctly inter- } preted that the launch was in trouble. She telephoned to Mr C. Way, who j immediately went to the wharf and } took steps to organise relief. The launch party eventually reached Rotorua at | midnight.
