TELEGRAPH FOREMAN’S DEATH WORK UNDER TRYING CONDITIONS Press Association WESTPORT, Sunday. The death occurred in the Westport Hospital this morning of Mr. Denis O’Sullivan, telegraph foreman, who came to Westport from Wellington after the big earthquake on June 17 and surveyed the new telegraph routes and laid the lines where they were broken between Westland and Karamea and Lyell and Inangahua Junction. He never spared himself and worked under very trying conditions from a strong sense of duty. Death was due to bronchitis and a severe attack of influenza.
