YACHT MISSING.
I Boats Capsized in Harbour Races. ' TUG GOES TO RESCUE. During the progress of yacht races at Lyttelton this afternoon two 3'achts capsized and one was swamped, while a fourth was missing at 5.30, and a search was commenced. The Wairuna and the Aloha capsized and the Ngahau was swamped. The tug Lyttelton, when returning from taking the AngloCanadian out of port, went to the rescue of one of the yachts, which was later taken in tow by a launch. The capsizings were due to a gusty southwest wind and a heavy sea. Later, information was received that Rascal had capsized, in the charge of K Henry. On board Wairuna were Gaunson and Mahar, and on Ngahau, Stephens. All were safe on these yachts.
