DROWNING FATALITIES.
Napikr, Yesterday
A young man named George Duncan was swept off the Napier breakwater on Monday and drowned. On Tuesday a similar fate happened to a young man named Harry Holland, who was walking along the breakwater whart with two friends, when a wave swept over them and carried Holland right out into the harbour. A lifebelt was thrown him, and just as he reached out for it another huge wave washed him away from it, and he sank. Within a few minutes, by means of grappling irons the body was recovered, and raised to the tvharf, where efforts to restore animation were made without success. The deceased was about nineteen years of age, and was until recently employed on the trawler Pania, now laid up.
