WOMAN INJURED
Drama on Launch in Auckland Harbour By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, January 24. A man named Donald Murray, employed as caretaker on a hulk in the harbour, is missing as tjie result of a partially-explained happening in the harbour last night. Murray, with another hulk caretaker, Leslie Malton, and a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Rose Taylor, left the city in a launch. The woman fell overboard, and the men, after vainly endeavouring to get her back into the launch, passed a rope under her arms and so tieil’her to the stern. Her cries were heard, and a ferry boat went to the rescue. After some searching they found the launch with Malton in it, and the woman, exhausted and almost unconscious, with her feet lacerated by the screw of the launch. She was taken to hospital, and her condition to-day was described as not serious. It was learned that Murray dived overboard, presumably to help the woman, but was not seen again, although the survivors thought lie struck cut for the shore.
