LOST WINDWARD
UNAVAILING SEARCH. MAT AI RETURNS. The Government steamer Mntni returned to Wellington on Saturday morning after having spent over a week searching unsuccessfully for the missing yacht Windward. The Matai left Wellington on the afternoon of January 30 and steamed 100 miles out from the coast. She then took a zig-zag course for three days, covering the area where it was possible that the Windward would be found if she had strusk trouble and attempted to return to the Chatham Islands. Bounty Island and the vicinity was also searched.
Visibility was good for the whole trip, hut the weather was consistently bad, with heavy seas, so much so that those on board gave it as their opinions that the yacht would not have had much chance of survival.
