A BROKEN FLYWHEEL
Further particulars of the accident to Mr. J. F. B. Stevenson on Sunday on his small farm on Titahi Bay Road, and to his farm manager (Mr. J. Davis), mentioned in Monday's "Post," show that the outboard motor was attached to a post, and was in process of being tuned up when the flywheel flew into pieces. A farm boy had a narrow escape. Standing close to the engine, ho had leaned down to hear better when the mishap occurred, and a large piece of metal passed through his hair. Mr. Stevenson, who was standing some six feet away, was hit in the right arm by a piece of flying metal, the arm being broken in two places. Mr. Davis's injuries were chiefly in the chest and body, and were also caused by flying fragments.
