Ten months probation and a brief talk in the judge's chambers, was the outcome of a 17-year-old West Vancouver youth's theft of a frisbee.

Kurt Gillingham, of 2259 Bellevue Avenue, was charged after an incident, June 16, when he attempted to steal a frisbee from the

Mac's Milk store at 1403 Marine Drive.

Crown counsel Jean Connor told West Van-

couver Provincial Court that Gillingham was caught by the propricter of the store, who then called the police.

Lloyd Parker told his son there had been an engine fire which they managed to control but which then flared up again.

The captain has since said he did not know for certain what caused the fire, but

suspected it must haye been a fuel leak.

Later, Connor said, a young man called the police saying his jacket had been stolen while he was in MacDonalds.

The young man turned out to be ae “friend of Gillingham's, Connor said, and he later provided Gillingham’s name to police.

In court, Judge Moir suspended sentence on Gillingham and placed him on probation for ten months.

The judge also asked him to appear in his chambers at intermisssion.

The yacht had left Yokohama in June and had been due in to Honolulu Sunday. Leigh Parker said his father had _ intended laying over there for a while before going on to Tahiti and other South Pacific islands.

He went into the engine room immediately to battle the blaze, but within minutes, the smoke was so thick he had to don scuba gear to breathe.

He said of the boat surprise because it ran- perfectly when I was on it and it never entered my mind something like this would ever happen.

Leigh Parker said his father sounded “super” when they spoke briefly on the phone and did not seem discouraged. “I think we will | probably be able to talk him into taking another voyage,” he said.
