Napier News. [Own Correspondent.] Napier, December 18. A team from Wellington play a cricket match here against a Napier team on Boxing Day and the following day. December 19. Mr. Cook, sub-editor of the Telegraph, narrowly escaped drowning this morning off the Bluff. He was having his customary swim, and when returning to shore the current carried him out again. He called out three times for help, and was fortunately heard by Mr. Miller, gaoler, who ran down with a rope and life boy. Two young men, Howard of the Post-office, and Crossman of the Telegraph office, swam out and put the life buoy over Cook’s head, and succeeded in bringing him to shore, but not, before he had sunk twice, and was going down the third time.
