BATHER SINKS.
♦ FATALITY AT ST. CLAIR. By Tslegrspb—Press Association. DUNEDIN, Jan. 30. At about 6.30 this evening, bathers on St. Clair beach were alarmed to see a man who had been swimming beyond the outside line of breakers, throw up his arms and disappear. Several members of the St. Clair Life Saving Club immediately swam to the spot, but although they searched until a late hour, no sign of the swimmer was found. Apparently no one saw him go into the water, and his identity is as yet unknown, but he is supposed to have been dressed in a grey tweed coat, light grey trousers, a cream silk shirt, and brown lace-up shoes, which were found later In the Surf Club’s dressing shed.
