LAUNCH FATALITY.
SIX MEN DROWNED. OFF HEY/ SOUTH WALES COAST. RESCUE WORK PREVENTED. Press Association—Telegraph—Copyright. Received July 11, f..25 a.ra. UYDNKY. July 11. Last night a fishing party of thirteen were returning to the Tweed heads in a launch when it capsized three-quarters of a mile from Jana. Six managed to roach the snore in an exhausted condition. The body of -a seventh, A. Buchanan, drifted ashoro. The six who are missing are;—A. Arnold, C. Gibson, G. Liggett, I'reeney. J. Barrett, and Bqdimm. A tugboac was prevented from crossing the bar to search owing to tho high sea running. Another vessel which was outside signalled late at night that the search had been unsuccessful. The weather was bitterly cold, and there is little hope, even if they managed to keep afloat, that they would survive the exposure.
