SMOTHERED IN A TUNNEL.
A fatal accident occurred at Kaiwarau Gorge last night. Alex, Cameron was working in a tunnel, when it collapsed, completely burying him. A boy aged 12 year t , named Hanson, .vas with him, and there is no hope that the latter will be saved. Willing hands were promptly at the work of rescue, and although Cameron's body has been reached score than once additional slips have prevented its being extricated. He is known to be doad, but the boy may be further in the tunnel and yet alive, although that is very doubtful. Relays of men are still at work and tjying to eftect the chad's r^uue.
