A remarkable fatality is reported to have occurred on the steamer Orama during her voyage from London to Sydney. Miss Douglas stepped into a bath, and finding tho water too warm jumped out. In doing so she struck her head against some proportion, which caused her to fall back into the bath, and she was fatally scalded. At the Masterton baths a few days ago a revolver bullet came whizzing past a woman and several children, and lodged in e piece of woodwork within a few inches of the caretaker. Police investigations revealed that an old man in the vicinity had fired at a bird, and the bullet went through the iron fence surrounding the baths.
