LEFT HOOT OX RIGHT FOOT
(By Tple.Tapb—Press Association )
NAPIER, Wednesday
The body of Robert Black, blacksmith, aged 53, of Napier, was found by men working on the breakwater at about 11.15 this morning. The body did not appear to have been in the water for any length of time, and there were no marks of violence. A peculiar feature was that the left boot was on the right foot and the right boot was missing. The man was last seen at 9 o'clock last night, when he appeared to be in his usual good health.
