DROWNING ACCIDENT
FISHING BOAT CAPSIZED AT PAEKAK ARIEL A fishing excursion embarked upon by three railway employees at Paekakariki yesterday afternoon had a tragic ending, one of the party losing his life by drowning. Only meagre information was available last night, but it appears that Malcolm, an enginedriver, Pengulley, a fireman, and Guinnane, a clerk, wero fishing from a boat about 600 yards off the shore. Suddenly the craft was capsized by a swell. Guinnane and Malcolm managed to cling to the side of the upturned boat, but Pengulley went straight down, and nothing more was seen of him. The boat drifted shorewards with Malcolm and Guinnane still clinging to it. Their plight was observed and they were picked up by another boat. Malcolm was found to be in a bad condition on account of having been dashed against the boat by the strong swell which was running. Guinnane is not reported to have suffered ■in any way. . Pengulley was 'a single man, and it is thought that he was unable to swim.
