FORBIDDEN SWIM

TRAGIC RESULT

BOY'S GALLANT EFFORTS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WAIROA, This Day. Fine rescue work wasv done by a twelve-year-old schoolboy, Ernest Blake, at Mahia on Friday afternoon when he dived into Kopuawhara Creek and rescued his seven-year-old brother William. lie was then informed that another brother,- Edward, aged 9, had disappeared in the stream, and he again dived and swam out to the spot, but was unable to .locate him. Edward's body was recovered four hours later, and at an inquest held yesterday a verdict of accidental drowning was returned. It appears that the three boys, Charles, William, and Edward, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blake, of Mahia, went to the stream for a swim against their mother's orders. They waded across the stream at a shallow spot and started to swim back. Edward, who was a strong swimmer, taking William, who could not swim, on his back. They had not gone very far when Edward sank and left William struggling in the water. Charles gained the bank and gave the alarm, and Ernest ran to the rescue, throwing off his clothes and diving into the water. SHIPPING ARRIVALS. \ MONDAY. NOVEMBER 30. AWATEA, s.s.
