FATAL DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
TWO LIVES LOST. (by telegram.—press association). Kaikoura, Tuesday. The dynamite accident ended fatally to two of the victims, Alex. Gilmore and his eldest child, four years old. The latter died last night, and Gilmore early this morning. Both were horribly mutilated, the girl most severely about the legs, which wore almost shattered to pieces, while her father was torn and bruised from head to foot. Had they lived, it was intended to send them to the YVellingion Hospital by steamer today. Mrs Gilmore and the baby escaped with slight bruises.
