INTO BOILING POOL.
MAORI BOY'S FATAL SLIP.
RESCUED BY FLATMATE S
CARRIED TWO MILES TO HOME
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) TE PUKE, this day. A Maori boy, eight years of age, was fatally scalded yesterday at Otavamara, Lake Rotoiti. He was skylarking near the boiling sulphur pools and springs, which are about 15 miles from Rotorua, on the Te Puke Road, when he accidentally slipped and fell into a boiling alum pool. Though the pool was shallow, the boy was severely scalded on his hips. He was rescued by playmates in a semiconscious condition, and carried home, a distance of two miles, over rough fern country. Late, last evening he succumbed to his injuries.
