From The Adelaide Advertiser, 16 January 1914 -
A BOAT FOUND.
YANKALILLA, January 15.--On Tuesday afternoon while on a
fishing expedition near the Carracalinga Rocks two lads, Wallace
Smith and Thomas Ahern, came upon a flat-bottom boat bottom
uppermost on the rocks near the edge of the water. The boat was
about 12 ft. in length, and bore the name Kreppel. It was painted
in red-white-and-blue, and was only slightly damaged. The
outside was covered with zinc. The lads informed Mounted-
Constable R. J. White, who went out and viewed the little craft.
Where the boat came from is a mystery.
