Three men and a girl in a flat-bot-tomed rowing boat in the Grey River narrowly escaped being carried over the bar and washed out to sea about 5 p.m. the other day. When near the bar, the party found it impossible to make headway up the stream because of the strength of the outgoing tide. Fortunately the steam trawler Nile was crossing the bar at the time, returning from the open sea, and, in response to their cries, those in the small boat were taken aboard by the Nile's skipper, Mr P. Veale, and the boat was towed to the wharf.
