A fitter employed by the Auckland Harbour Board, Mr. James Flight, a married man, living at Edendale Picture House, was seriously injured to-day through being crushed under an automatic grab on tie King's wharf. He was helping to wheel the grab out of the shed on a email four-wheeled truck, when one of the wheels struck a rut and the grab, which weighs about 30cwt, tipped over, falling across his stomach. He was taken to the Auckland Hospital by the St. John ambulance. It is considered that his injuries are very serious.
