PLUCKY RESCUE
♦ ■ A plucky rescue of a seaman who fell overboard from the Karamea was made by Lieutenant-Commander Dennistoun, of the transport Tahiti. The man who was rescued was painting ship, and after leading the stage attempted to reach the deck, but missed his footing and fell into the water. Quartermaster Jones, of the Karamea, also saw the man fall and dived in for him at the same time as Lieutenant-Commander Dennistoun. Together the two got a line round the ma.ii in the water, and he was hauled aboard exhausted. The pluck of the two rescuers was warmly applauded by onlookers.
