BOY INJURED BY EXPLOSION.
DANGER TO SIGHT IS NOW FEARED. (Special to the “Star.") AUCKLAND, January 20. A delayed explosion caused burns and cuts on the face to a lad named Bain, aged eleven, while he was stopping at Takanini on holiday. When playing with another boy yesterday, he emptied gunpowder out of a cartridge and placed it in a bottle, threw in a lighted match, and ran away. As there was no explosion Bain returned, and while he was leaning over the bottle an explosion occurred, showering glass in every direction. He was attended by Dr Campbell Jenkins. His eyesight is considered to be in danger.
