CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Y.M.C.A. Secretary’s Close Call (P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 24. Close contact with death was the experience of Mr R. M. Brasted, national secretary of the Y.M.C.A., within the past few days. Mr Brasted has a gas producer plant attached to his motorcar and had considerable trouble when endeavouring to start it on Wellington Terrace the other evening. While adjusting in position a second battery which he had in the car, Mr Brasted had to bend down and got his _ first whiff of gas. Feeling giddy, he straightened himself up and took a deep breath. That was the last thing he remembered. He was found lying half in and half out of the car in a state of unconsciousness. , The police were soon on the scene and he was taken for identification purposes to the Y.M.C.A. and thence to hospital, where he was treated at once for carbon monoxide poisoning. Mr Brasted was unconscious for three hours and was afterwards told he had the closest call it was possible for a man to have in the circumstances.
