A CLOSE CALL. i RESCUE FROM A WATERY GRAVE. Dunedin. Feb. 5. The danger of venturing too far out while surf-bathing was exemplified in a striking manner at the Ocean Beach yesterday afternoon. Walter Tyson, about 35 years of age, was apparently engaged in “ shooting ” breakers, when he was overcome by a strong backwash. A lifeline was some little distance away, and when it was procured it was found to be tangled, involving loss of time. Fortunately a. young man named Crofton Umbers was close by, and he rushed into the water and rescued Tyson. The latter was unconscious when brought ashore, and remained so fpr a considerable time, but he is now progressing favourably.
