From the Otago Wintess (Dunedin), 12 December 1894: INVERCARGILL, December 10. Two men named Thomas Randell and James Coles were drowned near the mouth of the Waiau at noon to-day by the capsizing of a boat in which they were fishing for flounders. Randall was married and leaves a wife and six children in Invercargill. Coles was single and a sawmill hand residing at Colac Bay. Both were good swimmers, but the water was rough.
