LAUNCH MISSING
WITH SEVEN MEN
[By Telegraph, Per Press Association.]
THAMES, May 13
The launch Ngaru, with seven men aboard, is missing at Coromandel, and there are few details. All the men are single with the exception of Captain Grogan, who was master of a scow that went ashore. This morning a search was made at the islands outside Coromandel Harbour, without result. An Auckland message says that Waiheke Island was searched ; for Wreckage, hut with no result. It appears from the owner, Mrs Pickering, that the launch was taken without the owner’s knowledge. It recently was purchased in Auckland from Captain Hammond, and was named the Ngaru. A report from Colville states that two launches are sheltering there, hut it is unknown if the Ngaru is one of them. THE LAUNCH WRECKED. CREW SAFE. AUCKAND, May 14. The Coromandel launch was wrecked at Whnngaparoa Peninsular, 30 miles north of Auckland. The crew of seven are all safe,
