Falling into a vat containing hot caustic soda used for removing grease and other foreign matter from tin cans, Leslie Russell, aged 29, a married man, resident at Ponsonby, Auckland, was seriously injured at the factory of Messrs Harvey and Sons yesterday morning. He was wearing rubber boots and standing on a wet floor. Probably he slipped and fell forward into the vat, which stands three feet above the ground. Fellow-employees promptly hosed Russell, preventing the caustic soda from eating into his skin. He suffered severe scalds to his ankles and chest.
