SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.
WOMAN AND TWO CHILDREN
DROWNED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.
A sad drowning accident occurred on the Wanganui River yesterday. The wife of a settler named Alley, with two children, went down to the river, and it is supposed that the elder girl, having climbed a tree to reach kiekies, fell into the river and that Mrs Alley, with the baby in her arms, jumped in after her. All three were drowned. Owing to the distance of the scene from town no further particulars are yet to hand.
