French Yacht Safe
p. 78 · Read in the full issue
EARLY in April all shipping in the Cen tral Pacific was keeping a lookout for the French schooner-yacht, “Korrigane,” bound from Auckland to Suva, which was then considerably overdue. The U.S.S. liner, Aorangi sighted the yacht’s life boat at the end of March. But there was nothing to show whether it had been lost overboard or was adrift owing to some tragedy.
Just when the various Administrations had been appealed to for assistance by the French Government, it was reported by Captain Smith, of the Aux. cutter.
“Tui Vunilagi,” on April 9, that the “Kor rigane” was lying at Moala Island, quite safe, 110 miles south-east of Suva.
