FIRE FOLLOWS CAPSIZE
MOTOR PARTY’S ESCAPE
A car, driven by Mr 'Cecil Arthur, of Waitakaruru, containing three other persons, capsized on the WaiomioTapu road at midnight on Saturday and caught tire, just after the occupants had managed to scramble free. No one was injured. The car was proceeding from Puru, and when about a mile from 'Tapu was pulled too far to the left while passing another car, with the result that it capsized over the embankment. While one passenger, a young woman, was •being extricated, the car burst into flames, caused evidently by spilt benzine. Vain efforts were made to check the fire, which destroyed the woodwork and upholstery.
