NEW PLYMOUTH, 9th Dec.
Through falling out of a flat-bottomed boat in the surf at Fitzroy Beach yesterday, Percy Samuel Haskell, a labourer, of Smart road, was drowned. The boat, containing Haskell, Thomas Edwin Lester, and Harold Norman Bernston, was near shore when a large breaker threw up the stern, in which Haskell was sitting. Haskell was thrown forward and fell overboard. Another wave threw the boat ashore. The other two men saw Haskell stand up in the water almost up to his chest. He called for help and almost immediately disappeared. The boat was again launched and the vicinity searched, but the body has not yet been found. Haskell was 42 years of age, married and had four children.
