NEARLY RUN DOWN
Dinghy in Waitemata
Harbour By Telegraph.— Press Association Auckland, February 6. Unaware that the dinghy from which lie was peacefully fishing had drifted, a well-known Auckland business man about 8.45 o’clock last night suddenly heard the engine-room telegraph of a ferry steamer ring and realised that the vessel was almost on top of him. The night was dark and he had been sitting with his back to the approaching ferry boat. He hastily dived over the side and found himself under the ferry boat’s hull, and came up on the other side. • Though a good swimmer he was hampered by his clothes, but the inate of the ferry boat threw him a lifebuoy and he was soon hauled on board.
