WARNING TO BOYS.
THE VALUE OF SWIMMING. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the inquest concerning the death of Richard Winter, of Newtown, the lad drowned at Rona Bay by a small boat upsetting, the evidence showed that another lad had a narrow escape, as Winter clung to him and pulled him under. The coroner returned a verdict of accidental and added that the fatality was one of a long series which should impress upon boys the necessity of being able to swim. The deceased was handicapped by an oilskin coat in addition to his ordinary clothes, but it was probable that the fatality would not have occurred had \e been able to swim.
