GOLFER’S PROMPT ACTION
BOY RESCUED FROM DROWNING THRILL AT ROTORUA (From Our Own Correspondent) ROTORUA, Today. The rescue of a boy from drowning was effected by Mr. Hookey, solicitor, of Te Puke, on the golf links yesterday. A boy named O’Connor was looking for golf balls at the lake edge of No. 16 fairway, when he was noticed by Mr, Tom Parata, greenkeeper, to be struggling in the water. Mr. Parata called out to Mr. Hookey, Dr. Hay and others nearer the lake, who rushed to assist.
Mr. Hookey ran through the water and suddenly fell in a hole. He swam to the boy and rescued him, but could not land owing to the precipitous bank. Eventually they were pulled out by Mr. W. Pakes and Dr. Hay. Neither wao the worse for his experience.
