ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES
Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, last night. The body of a fireman named Duncan McCrae was found floating in Lyttelton Harbor. McCrae, who worked on the Harbor Board’s tug. was supposed to be on duty keening steam up, and he left home shortly before 8 o’clock to go to the vessel. So far as can be ascertained lie was not seen afterwards, and it was surmised that he fell into the water when going aboard, and was washed under the wharf. He was a married man, and had lived in the port for 20 years, and had been in the colony for nearly 48 years. It is a coincidence that McCrae was filling the position on the tu< r of a fireman who was drowned under similar circumstances about 12 months ago.
