YOUTHFUL TUNNELLER
BURIED BY BARTH FALL. DUG OUT JUST IN TIME Master Michael Abraham, son of Mr and Mrs R. P. Abraham, of Fitzherbert Avenue, Palmqrston North, will not want a repetition of the misadventure which overtook him on Saturday morning and nearly resulted in his says the “Manawatu Times.” With the help of some playmates, a tunnel some eight or nine feet, deep was being excavated into a bank. This was good fun until suddenly the roof dropped in burying young Abraham who was at the head of the tunnel.
Thoroughly alarmed, his playmates sought help. A rescue party was quickly organised but it was the best part of a quarter of- an hour before the unfortunate lad was dragged from his perilous position, almost suffocated. Yesterday he' was reported to be himself again but bruised and stiff.
