TRAPPED IN LIFT.
The experience of being trapped in a lift for nearly two hours was endured l>y nine young women last evening after . they had been rehearsing a play, "Nine , Till Six, 3 ' which will be staged in aid of the St. John Ambulance, with other members of the Auckland Theatre Guild. Just after 10 o'clock a police sergeant appeared, and, pressing his shoulder to the lift door, shouted to the trapped women to jump. When they did so, simultaneously, the lift .started to ascend from the basement, from which there was no exit, just one hour 50 minutes after they had first entered it. It is explained that the failure of the lift to ascend was due to its being overloaded, and not to any defect. It w.'.s working normally to-day. '
