CREW OF WRECKED LAUNCH FIVE STRUGGLE ASHORE Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. At the height of a storm during the early hours of last Wednesday the 45ft fishing launch Sicilia, with five men aboard, all Italians, was washed ashore at Titahi Bay. The crew struggled ashore like drowned rats and sought shelter at a boardinghouse. After they had knocked for some time, it is stated that the door was opened and then slammed in their faces. After a further effort they went across to the Post Office store, and there were given shelter and made comfortable. The launch and crew belong to Island Bay.
