A PLUCKY RESCUE
Mr Turner, the well-known guard on the Masterton-Wellington railway line, distinguished, himself on Christmas Eve at Kaitoke. Just as the down train was set in motion a little girl was seen to fall off the platform of one of the carriages. In another instant Guard Turner was seen between the carriages and the next minute he emerged with the child in his grasp evidently more frightened than hurt. From the statements of several eyewitnesses, the rescue was a very plucky one and deserves more than passing notice.
