The local agent 3 for the Putiki also rcceivod a similar telegram from Captain Whalstrom, giving the above particulars, also the dimensions, which are as follow:— Length 23ft., breadth 7ft. The agents are of opinion that probably the launch had been anchored in tho Sounds or Blind Bay, and that the recent heavy floods and bad weather had caused the little vessel to drag hor moorings, and consequently she drifted out to sea.
