MASTERTON, Feb 8.   Colin Wilfred Henry Voss,  aged 32 married, with two children, was swept off a ledge of rock at Castle Point on Saturday and was washed out to sea.  Mrs Voss and others on the ledge saw a big wave suddenly sweep up out of an otherwise calm sea.  Mrs Voss held on to the rocks for safety and, although receiving minor injuries, was’ able to retain her hold.  Her husband had his back to the wave and apparently did not see it coming.  He was last seen 300 yards from the rocks and being carried further out. Voss, who was a coach builder and resided at Masterton, was on holiday at Castle Point.
