Dunedin, April 30. A man named Edgar King has been drowned through falling off the rail-
way bridge over the river Taieri at Otakia. He was walking along the line having missed the train, and fell from the bridge which is not one for traffic. He had intended sailing for Auckland last evening, in the brig Camille with his family. The brig was detained this morning, when his wife and seven children took their departure. As he did not turn up they will arrive at Auckland penniless. Christchurch, April 30.
