An unfortunate accident marred the conclusion of tho Manawatu Boy Scouts’ camp which broke up at Ngaputahi (Pohangina) on Saturday morning. During a swimming excursion one of the boys, Norman Adamson, aged 14 years, who resides at 50 Stanley avenue, took a dive off tho bank of tho Pohangina river, but entered shallow water, with the result that his head struck a rock. He was brought to the bank and the Free Ambulance was summoned. Investigation showed that the unfortunate boy had sustained severely lacerated wounds on the head which necessitated his removal to the Palmerston North Hospital.
