Poherua. It appears that at 10.60 o’clock deceased, accompanied by a fireman named Murphy, came along the wharf with the intention of boarding the vessel. Instead of using the gangway they essayed to spring on board find in the act of doing so Riley fell between the ship’s side and the wharf. Murphy, however, effected a safe landing. Riley was seen t 0 drop, J and he did not re-appear. The police : were communicated with, and Constable Houston was quickly on the scene. Dragging operations resulted in the body being brought to the surface at 11.30 arm. Attempts to resuscitate de- : ceased proved unavailing, and Dr McKay, who in the meantime had been | called pronounced life extinct. So far ; as is known ,deceased is a single man, i 35 years of age, and joined the ship at , Lyttelton on October 26th last. It is i probable that, while'falling, he struck himself against some object as there is not much space between the ship s side and tho wharf.
