BOY’S NECK BROKEN

Tauranga, February 15. A boy of eight, John McNab McCowan, went to- play at Mount Maunganui after school, and failed to return home. His parents became anxious, and residents made an all night search among the scrub and on the beaches. Next morning the boy’s body was discovered under the railway wharf at the Mount, with the neck broken. It is surmised that the boy fell from the wharf, struck a wooden landing and dropped into the water, no one witnessing the accident.
