CHILDREN IN DANGER
STAGING SINKS IN SEA HAPPENING AT KAIAPOI Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. While 50 children were crowded on the landing-stage at Kaiapoi on Saturday watching the regatta, the staging collapsed and slowly sank, and the children had to hurry ashore througn two feet of water. If the collapse of the staging had been more complete the children would have been thrown into six feet of water and a position of grave danger would have arisen. One boy swam ashore, and others were able to regain the bank, or were taken off the sinking stage by motorboats. _
