Although almost unnumbered accidents and many fatalities have occurred ,as a result of' passengers boarding or ; alighting from moving trains, many people are still willing to risk life and limb rather than arrive on the station a minute before time, or wait till the train stops. A few days ago a Khandallah resident, employed by tile Gear Meat Company at Petone, attempted to board a moving troop train, slipped, and fell between the carriages and the ; platform. A porter who caw him disappear shouted" to him to keep still and to keep his arms straight. The train was pulled up and the man was assisted on to the platform. With the exception of a few scratches and bruises and a fairly severe shock lie was uninjured, although ten or twelve carnages had ; passed by him.- ' ' v Messrs. C. W.
