MISSING FISHERMEN.
THOUGHT TO BE DROWNED, LAUNCH WASHED ASHORE. Press Association. INVERCARGILL, April 19. Three men, Charlie Brown, Geo. Saunders, and “Banjo” Jones went fishing in an oil launch from Riverton on Friday morning, and it is feared they are drowned. Shortly after noon a gale, fierce though short-lived, sprang up, and as the men did not return search parties went out on Saturday. The boat was found washed ashore on tho Riverton beach. From the nature of movable things found in the launch, it is considered improbable that she had capsized, but that she was simply swamped. Enquiries along the 'coast from tho Bluff to Colac and on Centre and Stewart Islands failed so far to reveal traces of them.
