Found 200 Miles From Suva

From Our Own Correspondent

Suva, Jan. 28.

WORD was brought to Suva last night by the cutter Resolution that the yacht Seafarer , which was stolen from the harbour a month ago was found un damaged ashore at Fulanga, in the South ern Lau group, about 200 miles from Suva.

There were four Indian youths on board, and they were arrested by the

District Commissioner (Ratu Sukuna).

It is understood that they are being taken to his headquarters at Loma Loma.

They will later be brought into Suva for trial.

So far as the sketchy report, which is all that has been received up to the pre sent, indicates, the youths had little knowledge of seamanship, for they had lost all their anchors and the dinghy, which was also stolen from Suva.

The Seafarer is being returned to Suva by a crew of Fijians.
