MISSING YACHT
MYSTERY OF WINDWaRD. MAY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN SOUTH, WELLINGTON, -March 7 Reverend W. S. Rollings, falh u: ol the skipper of the missing yacht, Windward, states that while mystery, up to the present, shrouds their movements after leaving the Chathams, many Chatham Islanders cling to the belief that the crew are still afloat, and that probably, dismasted, they have been driven south and made one of the islands. He points out that they had food sufficient for substantial meals for one month, and then could ration lor some time. They carried a rifle and cartridges and also fishing tackle. They had forty gallons of water when leaving Wellington and had used only six on their arrival at the Chathams.
