GARAGE MAN'S ESCAPE. OVERCOME BY PETROL FUMES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) HASTINGS, this day. An accident liable to happen to any motorist or mechanic unless he takes special precautions occurred to a local garage proprietor, B. Ogilvie. He was working underneath a car in a pit at his garage, and did not notice petrol dripping on to his clothes from the leaking carburettor. He was, overcome by fumes, and when found two hours later was lying with his face in a pool of benzine, unconscious. Although he was considerably burned through the action of the petrol, lie is progressing favourably.
