YOUNG WOMAN'S DEATH
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, May 18. Nancy Zilla Watson, married, aged 20, of Bluff, died on her way Back from the Mutton Bird Islands. She had taken ill at the islands and was being brought back to Bluff in a motorboat.
An inquest will be held tomorrow.
A mouse which apparently lost its bearings wandered into the indicator box of the automatic fire alarm at the premises of a Dunedin business firm the other evening and upset the mechanism to such an extent that the alarm rang vigorously and the City Fire Brigade turned but. Besides putting the firemen to the irritating inconvenience of being called to an accidental false alarm, the mouse's jaunt was responsible for the not inconsiderable expense of a brigade call.
