E. Winter, district coroner, at the iuquest into the death of John Henry Nicholson, a single man, aged between 50 and 60, who was swept off a ledge on which he was working by a fall of rock at Hopuruahine, Waikaremoana, on Friday last and killed. The nearest telephone was 20 miles from the camp, and Mr Nicholson, who was frightfully injured about the head as the result of the fall, was dead long before a doctor arrived.
