LAMBTON QUAY DIVERSION
A. small but. constantly' changing crowd watched officials groping in a sump in Lambton Quay this afternoon, the search being for a young woman's engagement ring, which had fallen through the grating. The entire black,, oily, and malodorous contents of the sump were taken out, and sifted again and again. Small objects such as pennies, paper clips, and a pearl or two were found, but the ring remained missing after an hour's search at 2.40 p.m. Undaunted, the lady waited, receiving the sympathy of .newcomers made aware of her loss. The ring had been in her possession for only a few days.
