Happenings About the Town INCIDENTS, OBSERVATIONS Slipping on the footpath in Manners Street on Saturday evenin'g, Mrs. N. McCarthy, who lives at 10 Frederick Street, injured her left leg. She was taken to the hospital by the Free Ambulance. Severe lacerations of the left foot were received last evening by a tbree-vear-old child, Lewellyn Oliver, when he trod on some tin at his parents’ home, 47 York Street, Lower Hutt. He was attended to by the Free Ambulance, and taken to the hospital. As a result of catching his right hand between a barrel and a case when he was working on the s.s_. Totara oh Saturday morning, Mr. C. Wilson, of 16 Hopper Street, severely lacerated three fingers. He was attended to by the Free Ambulance and taken to the public hospital. Landing on Ward Island on Saturday afternoon, members of a boating party found a sea leopard basking on a shingle spit. This unusual visitor in Wellington Harbour waters was a typical, full-grown specimen of its kind, being upwards of eight feet in length. When surrounded by the disturbers of its peace the leopard, who appeared to have been asleep, sniffed suspiciously, opened its eyes, then raised itself on its flappers and snarled. It showed little fear, nnd moved leisurely toward the water’s edge, where it plunged in and was gone.
