Escape

From Our N.Z. Correspondent

Auckland, Apr. 10.

A NARROW escape from gas poison ing was experienced by a Suva resident, Mr. A. J. Jacka, when he was overpowered by carbon monoxide fumes in an Auckland garage on April 3.

Mr. Jacka had the engine of a motor car running with only a small side door of the garage open. Overcome by the fumes, he was taken to the Auckland Hospital, but he recovered in time to board the Mariposa for Fiji the same evening.

Rev. Father E. Guilbaud, of the Sacred Heart Mission in Papua, who had served for 43 years in the Yule Island district-, died suddenly on March 15.
