FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.
[by telegraph.— association.] Gisuorne, Tuesday. A fatal boat accident occurred this afternoon. An old identity, George Nisbett, and three boys Claud and Gordon Morgan, and Edward Fenton, had been out in the bay in an open boat fishing, and were returning across the bar when the boat swamped. The three boys were washed ashore safe, but Nisbett got out in mid stream. The driver on the harbour work, Alexander McGiven, pluckily swam to his assistance, and with another boat the old man was brought ashore. He never recovered consciousness, and after an hour's attempt at resuscitation, life was found to be extinct.
