MISSING LIFE LINE.
Surf Club May Take Court Action. Sixty-five 3-ards of line, stolen a few months ago from the reel of the North Beach Surf Club, are understood to have been found at North Beach. The club may institute Court proceedings. The line was imported from Australia for life-saving purposes. The imported ropes are about 400 yards long in all, and that at North Beach was reduced by sixty-five yards, thus cutting down the safety margin considerably. The shortage was most pronounced at the time of Mr A. T. Dalton’s rescue work during the North Beach drowning fatality, when at one stage while the rescuer was out in the surf there remained only twenty-five yards of line on the reel, instead of the ninety yards there would ordinarily have been.
