*. (PEB PBEBB ASSOCIATION.) Auckland. February 19. The sailing party of four young men, who are missing, left Chamberlain's Island in an open boat, not a yacht. Up to the present time no tidings of ! them have been received, and the worst fears are entertained. In connection with the sad affair a remarkable coincidence is related. On Sunday night. last Mrs Buruside, of Wairoa South, mother of one of the missing men, roused the other members of her family and declared she was sure that Jack (her son) was drowning, as in a dream she had just distinctly heard his voice calling to her three times *' Mother." February 20. The body of Gordon Hall, one of the missing party for which search parties were out, has been found on the beach at Wairoa South. Later. The body recovered this morning is not that of Hale, but the body of another of the party, Lionel Whitney, a young man of 22 years, and a son of Captain Whitney, of the Colonial Ammunition Factory. The remains were found washed upon the foreshore at Maraetai.
