GUARD DISMISSED.
Gisborne, Last Night,
The Departmental Board of Inqury into the accident on May 19, when an engine crashed into stationary passenger cars on the Otoko-Rakaroa section of the Gisborne—Motuhora railway, found that the guard in charge of the train failed to take the precautions prescribed by the Regulations, namely, to place detonators on the line ahead of and behind the stationary ears. The Board recommended the dismissal of the guard.
