CHILDREN DROWNED
Fatalities in Far North By Telegraph—Press Association. Wliangarei, January 19. A report from the East Coast states that a Maori girl, Dulciq, Martin, four years of age, was drowned at Wliangaruru yesterday afternoon. The child, while playing with other juveniles, fell from an anchored punt on the beach into shallow water, and it is believed was carried out by the undertow. An intensive search for the body has so far been unavailing. Another report from the far north states that Mary Overton, an Auckland girl, aged 12 years, was drowned last evening at Mitimiti, on the west coast, near Hokianga Harbour, when bathing in the surf with other children. The girl, who has not been seen since, was carried out to sea so quickly that attempts at rescue were impossible. The body of Robert Stewart Banner, aged 68, who fell > overboard from a yacht in Hokianga Harbour on Monday evening, was found yesterday near the scene of the tragedy.
