NAVAL STOKERS INJURED.

ONE IN SERIOUS STATE. : LEVEL CROSSING ACCIDENT. (Ry Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. Two leading stokers from H.M.s. Diomede were involved in a level crossing accident at Camp Road, Trentham, last night, as a result of which one was seriously, and the other severely injured. The two men, Messrs. James Hastie and Stanley Robert Church, were in the naval training camp at Trentham, and were returning on a motor cycle. As they were passing over the crossing shortly after G p.m., they were struck by a goods train and thrown a considerable distance, both being rendered unconscious. The train was pulled up, and the two men given first aid, and then taken to the Wellington Hospital. Hastie's skull was fractured and his jaw broken, and his condition is serious. Church had his right leg broken, and is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances." "
