DROWNING ACCIDENT
SAD EVENT AT DAY'S BAY.
A drowning accident occurred at Day's Bay early yesterday afternoon, the; victim being a married man named Walter Stuart. It appears that Stuart, with his wife and sister, were bathing on the north sido of tie Day's Bay Wharf. They got out of their depth, and were noticed to bo in difficulties by persons ashore' Two Wellington College students went to their assistance promptly, and succeeded in getting the two women to the beach. But Stuart sank almost at once. His body was recovered within ten minutes, and Dr. Hector directed an attempt at resuscitation, but the effort, prolonged for an hour, was unavailing. The body was brought across the harbour later in the day, and an inquest will be held, probably, to-day.
