UNWELCOME VISITORS
LAUNCHES AT PT. CHEVALIER
Four launches lying on the mud bed of Oakley Creek, near the foot of Montrose Street, Point Chevalier, received an unwelcome visitation at the week-end. Mr. G. Fry's launch had the hatch torn off and Mr. A. G. S. Gradison's boat was left in a litter of discarded oddments, after access had been gained by breaking the lock. A coat and a pair of gumboots, a camp cooker, and tins of corned beef and beans, taken from some other craft, were left on board.
In a launch owned by Mr. Jarvis a net was used to catch sprats, part of the haul being left in the cockpit. A hurricane lamp is missing from a shed owned by Mr. R. Cateson, owner of one of the launches. Clues on which investigating detectives may work are a toy pistol and cigarette papers left in one of the launches.
