The Premier to the Rescue.
(Per Press Association). Auckland, Decemher 12. An incident illustrative of the Premier's promptitude occurred this morning (Waiku) at breakfast. Mrs Waterman, the licensee's wife, trod on a match, the result being that her clothing instantly took fire, the lining of her dress being apparently very inflammable. The flames ran rapidly, and the Premier, instantly recognising the danger, sprang to tho woman's assistance before others noticed the fire and speedily extinguished it. Mr Seddon's hands wero slightly scorched during the operation. The Premier's prompt action undoubtedly saved her from being severely injured, if not burned to death.
