ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS
The locomotive drawing the Taupo totara timber train from I’atururu to Mokai capsized on the part of the line known as the Corkscrew. It turned three complete somersaults, with the driver and fireman in the cab. The fireman received a fractured skull, and the driver was severely scalded. The fireman was removed to the Hamilton Hospital. Two men were severely burned by fire yesterday in Wilson’s Cement Works at Warkworth. J. Davidson, a victim of the explosion, succumbed thus morning in the Auckland Hospital to the injuries sustained. George Didoson, injured at the same time, is apparently out of danger’.
