WOMAN RESCUED FROM SURF
STRONG CURRENT AT SUMNER.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Dec. 19. Several, bathers were in difficulties owing to a strong current at Sumner yesterday. In one case there was a thrilling rescue. Mrs. Fox and Miss Peggy Fisher were swimming together. They were some distance from the beach when Miss Fisher saw that Mrs. Fox was almost exhausted. Miss Fisher supported her for a period and then called to J. E. Archer, who was not far away. Mr. Archer swam over and while he held up Mrs. Fox, Miss Fisher set out for the shore to bring help. A surf club team eventually rescued Mrs. Fox, but only after the beltman and the woman had been badly buffeted by, the surf at the end of 400 yards of line.
