A DERELICT LAUNCH.
TRYING EXPERIENCE AT SEA. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Nov. 25. The missing launch party was picked up by the steamer Ngakuta at U.3U a.m. to-day off Cape Campbell in a very exhausted condition and brought back to Wellington. Although obviously tired and shaken the sii! men have recovered to a great extent from their trying experience. The party set out on Sunday morning for a few hours fishing, but the engine broke down and a gale came up with the result that the little craft was at its mercy for two days. It was blown up the east coast and across to Ivaikoura and Cape Campbell by the aid of a sail made from sugar sacks. The men had no food or water, and at times, when near land, efforts were made to get ashore, but were of no avail owing to the strong currents.
