Judge in a Struggle
A FERRY INCIDENT STERN MEASURES Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, XVednesday. Mr. Justice Frazer had an adventure on the steamer Wahine on tile voyage from Wellington on Tuesday night. A steward was attempting to restrain a passenger whom he suspected of designs to plunge overboard, and was being sadly worsted in the fight.- The Judge, lying wakeful in his ca-bin, had heard sounds of a distant struggle, and when he heard a cry of “murder” he jumped from his bunk and rushed to the scene, arriving just in time to save the steward from serious injury. The Judge pulled the steward’s assailant away, but the man still fought furiously. Fair w r ords and persuasion failed to pacify him, and eventually the Judge agreed with the steward that sterner measures were necessary. These were effective, and the man was thrown and held until help arrived.
