Yacht Mishap In
MESSRS, dagger and Harvey’s ex- American yacht Ornant, after a rough voyage of 30 days from Auckland, was . lying off Avarua, in Rarotonga, undergoing repairs, when a squall came up at noon on July 20, and her stern lines carried away.
She immediately swung around onto the reef, near where the
Tahitienne was wrecked. All hands, aided by a large section of the local population, got a line aboard and managed to heave her clear of the reef; but she bumped heavily there for a couple of hours. She was considerably damaged, but was not leaking.
The Rev. John Wardman has left for Papua with his wife and baby daughter. They will go to the Anglican Mission station at Gona.
