*In the Evening Post, Wellington on 24 July 1911, page 2: A strong effort is being made to develop the trawling industry at Lyttelton (states the Christchurch Press).
On Friday afternoon the steamer trawler Result arrived in the port, after a smart run of fifty-one hours from Napier.
Her arrival brings the number of vessels engaged in the trawling industry at Lyttelton up to five, the fleet now comprising the Muriel, Result, Purau, Mullogh, and Pilot.
The fishing grounds are off Banks Peninsula, outside of a line drawn from Port Levy rocks to Long Look Out Point, and also to the northward of Lyttelton Heads.
John William Dephoff, a single man aged 31 years, employed on the trawler Muriel, fell overboard yesterday and was drowned.
