Some childien were playing at the waterfront opposite the New Zealand Shipping Co’s, sheds in a boat, when the lad Morgan fell into the river. Hearing the cry for help, Mr Teviotdale rushed into the water, without removing his clothes, and seized the child, but the strong current and cold together with his burden, exhausted him..
