GALLANT LIFE-SAVING
TWO MEN RISK THEIR LIVES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Two particularly gallant attempts at the rescue of a man from drowning took place at Waitipu Bay, Manukau Heads, yesterday, the second proving successful. A man named McLeod, a resident of Onehunga, fell off the rocks into deep water, striking a projection as he did so. As he did not rise again, the engineer of the steamer Putiki jumped to his recue, and with great difficulty was bringing him ashore when he himself sank exhausted. A young man named Cowan then plunged in, and succeeded in getting McLeod and the latter's first would-be rescuer ashore. There were both unconscious for some time.
