A Brave Man.
The plucky- action of a New Zealander prevented a serious accident, if not a fatality, in Sydney the other day. An elderly woman was walking down Upper George-street, and, not noticing that an electric car was approaching from behind. commenced to cross the track. The ear was almost on top of her, and it seemed that nothing but a miracle could prevent an accident, when Mr. J. F. McCarthy (who was ascertained to be the manager of the Addington Workshops at Christchurch) jumped in front of the car, and with an effort almost threw the woman off the track. The car struck Mr. McCarthy on the shoulder and threw him clear of danger.
