Loss of the Steam Launch Olga
SUPPOSED INDENTIFTCATION OF ONE OF THE CREW. (Per Press Association). Wellington. This Day. There seems very little doubt that the steam launch Olga was lost in last week's gale while on her way to Patea. The body which the Wauganui police were unable to identify which was found on Friday last on the beach betwecu Foxton and Wauganui, and it is now almost certain this was the body of a man named Fritz Dommelly, a Dane, who was on board the Olga along with Larson, the owner, a resident of Patea. The watch found on the body bore the initials " F.D.," and the Wellington friends of Dommelly consider this establishes the indentiricatiouof the body and shows the little craft with her two occupants failed to weather the storm.
