SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A painful accident happened yesterday to Mr. McMahon, landlord of the Moanalairi Hotel. He went out on the beach at low water to have a shot at some gulls. He had a double barrelled gun, which at the first discharge burst in the right barrel just where it was grasped by Mr. McMabon. His hand is «everely shattered, some of the fingers being very badly smashed by the explosion. The two barrels of the gun parted company, and about six inches of the exploding barrel were completely shattered.
