CARELESS BATHERS
NEAR TRAGEDY AT FOXTON ' " I Carelessness on the part of sevcral bathers almost resulted in tragedy at; the Foxton Beach on Sunday. A 'large nufnber of 'Visitors took advantage of the fine aay for a dip in the surf but, as usual, there were a few who disregarded the Surf Club's warnings and bathed south of the spe'cified area. ' As a f es.ult one girl got into diffi- . culties -' and had to be assisted ashore by.. bathers. Before she was rescued 'she' had swallowe.d a pon siderable amount of salt water, Jand required resuscitation treatment, after whieh she was conveyeU to Mr. S. Rosvall's home. She was able to leave for her own home iater, little the worse for her experience. During the afternoon the Foxton Surf Club patrol assisted gwo other girls and a man ashore, but in no instance was it necessary to take the reel out. Those bathing within the limits specifled by the club experienced no difficulty.
