WORKMEN OVERCOME BY GAS.
PROMPT ACTION SAVES FOUR LIVES. Dunedin, October 24. Four workmen who were engaged in putting new gas pipes at Mornington this afternoon, had an unenviable experience, and but for the prompt and resourceful action of a young man named Leslie Croat they might easily have lost their lives. As Croat was returning to work after lunch he noticed one of the men waving very feebly from the edge of an excavation that had been made. Running to the spot he found two men unconscious in the pit, while the other two were only semi-conscious. Croat lost no time in removing the men to the surface, and medical aid was at once summoned. About ten minutes elapsed before the men regained consciousness.
