It is quite certain that Kenneth Bayue was neither born to be stabbed or drowned. It is enly a year or two ago since he was lying at death's door in the Waikato Hospital from the effects of a brutal attack made upon him in which he was badly stabbed with a knife, aud now we hear that he narrowly escaped being drowned on Thursday last. He was tryiug to make Te Awaroa from Kawhia in a small canoe, and the canoe was swamped three times. Twice he managed to bail the canoe out, but the third time he wub unable to do so. He was picked up insensible just as he was sinking by Mr Walter Morgan's launch. After a day in bed, however, he quite recovered. In each instance he appears to have had a pretty close call.
