ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES
IPer Press Association.) A small child on the Niagara was indirectly responsible for two accidents which occurred while the liner was en route from Vancouver to Auckland. In both cases people who were playing with the child tripped on the deck and received injuries. A third class passenger. E. L. Freeman, was the first victim. He was playing with the child on deck when he fell violently and received a compound fracture of the right leg, which necessitated his removal to hospital on the arrival of the liner at Auckland yesterday. Three days later the child was running down a corridor when a stewardess, Mrs Waters, emerging from a cabin door, stepped on a ball the child was playing with. She tripped over and received a simple fracture of the left arm. An X-ray examination was made on shore yesterday and the sufferer will be able to proceed to Sydney.
The body of a newly-born male child wrapped in a paper parcel was found yesterday on the foreshore at Ravensbourne, Dunedin.
