GIRL DROWNED.
TRAGEDY AT TOMAHAWK BEACH. VICTIM APPARENTLY CAUGHT IN UNDERTOW. DUNEDIN, November 4. A tragic drowning accfdent occurred at Tomahawk Beach late this afternoon, when a young girl named Rose Isohel Kydd was swept into the breakers and lost her life. Miss Kydd, who was 17 years of age and resided with her parents at Lukes Boa’d, Tomahawk, was employed a sa domestic at the Karitane Home. About 5 p.m., in company with a friend' named Peggy Braid, she went to Tomahawk Beach to bathe. Apparently, however, the girls became separated, for at about 5.20 p.m. Miss Braid came to Miss Kydd’s home, asking if she had come back, as she was not on the beach. A search was immediately made for the missing girl but without avail. It could only be surmised that ’she had entered the water during the absence of her friend and had been swept out by the undertow. The police were communicated with and constable Meiklejohn patrolled the beach until nightfall, but no sign of the unfortunate girl’s body was seen, further searching later in the evening was also without result. —(P.A.)
