PERILOUS VOYAGE.
TRIALS IN OPEN BOAT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 14. The steamer Glaneus, which arrived here from Noumea, reports that at Walpole Island it was found that a boat containing three men, Bryant, Johnston -and Meiklejohn, the last a Dunedin man, had left on a 140 mile trip and advice was received by a pigeon that they were in trouble and wanted assistance. A long search was made among the islands in -the vicinity of New Caledonia without result, and as the men had been away fourteen days it was feared they must be lost. i On returning to Noumea, however, they found the boat there, but the men had had a very rough time, owing to the want of water, and had had bad weather all through. It was astonishing the boat had kept afloat.
