[per press association^
DUNEDIN, Oct 16.
The ship Jessie Readman has arrived from London, 97 days out. On September 11th, during a strong southerly wind with mountainous seas,, three seamen were engaged in making fast the inner jib, when a heavy sea knocked them off the boom. Nothing could be done to save them. Their names are—Robert Kelly, John Lawson, and Richard Farmer. The latter is a native of Blenheim.
