LOOKED FOR PIPE.

I OLD MAN'S COOLNESS. i ORDEAL UNDER TRAM. After a breakdown gang had extriI cated him from beneath a tram, where ■he had been for a quarter of an hour, Harry Vinskin (71). a resident of New- ' town. Sydney, casually brushed himself and began looking for his pipe. ! Vinskhi was walking across Newtown ; Bridge when he was struck by a tram 'and knocked right tmler the life pre I server en the front. I He was forced right under the tram, I a:d it was thought that he was seriously injured. The district -ambulance was called, but the efforts of the ambulance I officers to extricate him failed. I The breakdown gang from the depot | near at hand raised the tram and freed ; Viiiskin, after he had been beneath it j for a-quarter of an hour. ! , When he emerged he was covered in dust, with his clothing torn. He had a I few abrasions, but otherwise was unin- | jured. Somewhat shakily lie brushed I his clothes and then began searching on the ground for his pipe, which had been I knocked out of his mouth. He was taken to Royal Priuee Alfred i Hospital by the ambulance, and after treatment was allowed to go home.
