Cause For Complaint
(New. Zealand Press Association)
AUCKLAND, March 10. A Te Atatu yachtsman, Mr B. Tickle, of 12 Chapman road, could complain that fate is against him. First his yacht Vagabond was wrecked in Needles Bay, Onetangi, on Waiheke Island on February 27. Equipment worth £5OO, including an engine and personal belongings, was salvaged and left under
a pohutakawa tree to be picked up later.
But when Mr Tickle returned this week with a barge owner, Mr B. Subritzky, to pick up the gear he found it had been buried under hundreds of tons of earth by a landslide.
“It was hopeless,” said Mr Subritzky today. “You would have needed a bulldozer to shift all the earth which had come down.”
