RESCUER IN DIFFICULTIES Par Press Association. DUNEDIN, Last Night. A 15-year-old lad, Ivan George Berryman, was drowned in the surf at Ocean View, near Brighton, this afternoon. With a companion, a boy named McKenzie, he went swimming and got into difficulties some distance from the shore. The other boy waded ashore for assistance and a young man named MeColl went out to rescue Berryman who struggled with him, and the rescuer was nearly drowned himself in his efforts to hold the lad. In the struggle he lost his grip of the boy, who disappeared. The body has not so far been discovered.
