YACHT CAPSIZES
ANOTHER WELLINGTON MISHAP Press Association. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Another yachting mishap, fortunately without fatal results, occurred in the harbour yesterday morning, when a small yacht capsized a few hundred yards to the north of Somes Island. Two launches circled the island and its neighbourhood, but no trace was seen of the yacht or its occupants. The anxiety was relieved about 3 o'clock, when the Petone police received a message that the Spray, a yacht belonging to the Heretaunga Boating Club, had picked up some young men clinging to the hull of a boat between Somes Island and the eastern side of the harbour and had .taken them to Lowry Bay.
