DROWNING FATALITIES.
By Telegraph—Press Association. NAPIER, January 8. A little girl, named Florence Beatrice Lascelles, about 3& years old, daughter of Mr Montague, Lascelles, auctioneer, was drowned at the Western Spit, about 4 o'clock, this afternoon. ' The child was playing with a short fishing-line on a small jetty near the Sailing Club's shed, and it is surmised that in trying to imitate some older children, who were fishing, the line became entangled round her body, and caused her to fall into the water. She was got out very soon after, but though medical assistance was at once obtained, and efforts at resuscitation were continued for some hours, it was without avail, life being extinct. DUNEDIN, January 8. Lionel Clements, two years of age, is missing from his home at Kaitangata. Footprints near the river lead to the supposition that the child has beeii drowned. Valdy Bishop, a farm hand, was drowned while bathing in a lagoon near Balclutha, to-day.
