BATHER IN DANGER.
PLUCKY RESCUE EFFECTED. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, January 24. J. Wattorson, of 18 Cardell street, was caught in a treacherous undertow while bathing at Titahi Bay yesterday afternoon, and was carried a quarter of a mile from the shore before being rescued. Many hundreds of people on the beach watched two men in a small dinghy, W. Johnston and G. H. Sharratt, of Wadestown, brave the angry seas and rescue Wattorson as ho was on the verge of unconsciousness. On returning to the shore the boat was capsized in the heavy surf, and the bathers completed the rescue which they had so heroically begun.
