| 説明 | THREE MISSINGNAVAL RESERVISTS CAPSIZED BOAT FOUNDALL THE SAILS SET SEARCH PROVES FRUITLESS Grave fears are held for the safety of three members of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who left Tiritiri Island on Wednesday afternoon for a sail in a small yacht which was found in the evening capsized with all sail set. A search continued throughout the night and all day yesterday and last night, but, although an aircraft was used in addition to naval launches, no sign, of the crew was found. The missing men are:— Ordinary Signalman William A. Ryan, aged 23, of 3 Lonsdale Street, Ellerslie. Ordinary Signalman Desmond Clyde Waite, aged 20, of 536 A Manukau Road, One Tree Hill. Signalman, J. W. Dallow, of 24 Grass Street, Oriental Bay, Wellington. Sail While Off Duty The three men had been called up for naval service and were stationed at Tiritiri Island. When off duty on Wednesday afternoon they set off for a sail in the T class 14 ft, yacht Evaine, formerly the Lena, owned by Ordinary Signalman Ryan. The yacht was last seen from Tiritiri making toward the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and nearly two miles away. The yacht was expected back at six o'clock, and when it had not returned by 6.30 other men stationed on the island went down to the wharf to look for it. There was no sign of the vessel, but this caused no alarm, as the men were not due to go on duty until 8 p.m. and there was only a light northerly breeze. Fruitless Night SearchWhen the men were not back in time to go on duty the naval base was advised, but still no fears were felt, as the wind was still light and it was a moonlight night. However, by 9 p.m. concern was felt, and shortly afterward two launches left the naval base to search for the yacht. One launch searched along the bays on the coast and the other kept to the main channel and made a circuit of Tiritiri Island. They kept in touch by signalling throughout the night, but neither found any trace of the missing men. Meanwhile the auxiliary ketch Endeavour, owned by the Aspden Shipping Company, had left Auckland for Portland. Between 9 and 10 p.m. she found the yacht upside down about three miles west of Tiritiri. Unknown to the searchers she took the vessel on board and continued on her way to Portland. The yacht had all sail set, and the spinnaker wrapped round the masthead indicated that this also had been set. Finding of Yacht ReportedWhen the Endeavour reached Portland yesterday morning the master, Captain A. Aspden, telephoned the managing director of the company, Captain W. E. Aspden, in Auckland. Captain Aspden at once took steps to trace the owner of the yacht, and it was not until this was done that the link with the Navy was established. In the meantime a naval aircraft had left at dawn to search for the yacht, but it returned without success. Launches from the naval base continued the search for the men throughout the day. Parties were landed at all beaches along the coast on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and round Tiritiri Island, but their search proved fruitless. All outgoing ships were also advised to keep a look-out for the missing men and radio messages were broadcast to residents on the coast and the Gulf islands to watch for any sign of them. No reports had been received, however, last night.A photograph of the yacht and the two Aucklandcrs appears on page 9. (see link below)TWO AUCKLAND MEN CALLED UP RECENTLY YACHT OWNER'S EXPERIENCE DUE HOME ON LEAVE TO-DAY Ordinary Signalman W. Ryan, who was the owner of the yacht, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ryan, of Ellerslie. He was educated at the Cornwell Park school and Auckland Grammar School. While a pupil at the latter he distinguished himself as a hockey player, being a member of the first XI. He joined the St. George's Rowing Club after he left school and soon became adept at the sport, competing at regattas as a representative of the club with fair success. He was also a member of the committee of the St. George's Rowing Club for three years. In the last year or two, Ordinary Signalman Ryan took a keen interest in yachting, and last season competed in events on the harbour. He was employed by Reid Rubber Mills, Limited, at Penrose. For the past two years he was a member of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, and was called up for service on February 23. After two weeks at the naval base, he was transferred to Tiritiri Island, and was granted permission to take his yacht there with him. His parents had expected him home on leave to-day. Ordinary Signalman Desmond Clyde Waite is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E, Waite, of One Tree Hill. He was born at Hamilton, but attended school at Papatoetoe, and later went to the Otahuhu High School. On completing his education, he entered the Lands and Survey Department, and also joined the Royal Naval Valunteer Reserve. He was called up some six weeks ago, being sent on guard duty to Tiritiri two weeks later. Among other sporting activities, he played Rugby football for the Otahuhu Club.paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19400419.2.36BOATING FATALITYMISSING NAVAL RATINGS DISCOVERY OF ONE BODY WELLINGTON SIGNALMAN The hody of one of the three naval ratings who disappeared when their 14ft. yacht capsized in the channel between Tiritiri and the Whangaparaoa Peninsula on April 17 was found on the rocks at the eastern end of the peninsula yesterday morning.
