CAUGHT IN THE TIDE.
YOUTH’S LUCKY ESCAPE. , (Per United Press Association.) HAMILTON, January 18. A fortunate escape from drowning was the experience yesterday of Robert Bray, a youthful Raglan resident. While out cruising in the Raglan Harbour in a dinghy the sail fouled, a sudden gust of wind capsizing the dinghy. The strong outgoing tide combined with a cross current from the channel swept him towards the bar. He finally reached shore about four miles from the scene of the accident, in an exhausted condition. He owes his life to the fact that he managed to retain a pair of oars. These supported him in his endeavour to reach safety.
