TWO LIVES LOST IN A BOAT ACCIDENT.

Napier, January 10. A sad boating accident occurred at Pourere yesterday. Mr Dixon, manager of Pourere run, and three other men named Tylee, Co:c, and Kennedy went out on a fishing expedition. By some means the boat was upset. Tho firstnamed three reached the shore, but Tylee and Cox were insensible, and restorative measures had to be applied, which were successful. Mr Dixon, a gentleman of exceptional physique and athletic powers, was not exhausted, and seeing Kennedy (a blacksmith on tho statiou) drowning, went in again to save him. Mr Dixon either became exhausted or was clutched by Kennedy, for he sank and both were drowned. Dixon was was married only a few weeks ago. A child named Droney, a daughter of a publican at Meanee, while playing with crackers got her dress on fire, and died from the injuries received. A verdict of accidental death was returned at the inquest.
