SWIMMER RESCUED
Learner in Difficulties STRUGGLE IN A DAM By Telegraph.—Press Association. Ottmaru, Feb, 2. While swimming in a pool a few hundred yards above the Waitaki dam, Mrs. Tusher, a learner, got into difficulties. Two girls, Doris Stephenson, aged 13 years, and Jean Anderson, aged 12, went to her rescue, but Mrs. Tusher, struggling desperately, pulled the girls under with ’her. Mrs. Stephenson drew the attention of a young man, Mr. A. Nash, who promptly went to the rescue, bringing Mrs. Tusher to the shore. The girls were able to make the shore without assistance. The action of Mr. Nash is all the more commendable as he learned swimming only since Christmas.
