SAFETY OF MISSING MEN.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, last night. The three men who were blown out to sea in an open boat from Motunau on Sunday, turned up at Gore Bay, Cheviot, safely on Sunday. They were in a very exhausted condition. It appears that they were blown out by a very strong westerlygale, and when many miles off shore the wind went round to the eastward and blow them toward the shore, and they eventually landed 23 miles further up the coast than Motunau. The Lyttelton Harbor Board’s tug was out ail Monday afternoon searching for the boat, and had a very rough time, having great difficulty in returning to Lyttelton against the high wind.
