DROWNED WHILE BATHING
BOY IN DEEP WATER RESCUE EFFORT FAILS [BY. TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION"] DUNEDIN. Sunday A boy, George Frederick Robert Hall, was drowned at Waitahuna while bathing this morning. In company with a number of others, the deceased had gone to bathe in an old dredge hole. Hall, who could not swim, was paddling in shallow water, when he stepped into a deeper part of the hole and was soon beyond his depth. One of the other lads, noticing his plight, seized hold of him, but was forced to let go, and the boy drifted out into deeper water and was drowned. The body was recovered later.
