Bravery of Fijian

Policeman

[?] his is Constable Jone Atobe, 29-years and a member of the Fiji Police for years, who. in September, dived from high Sigatoka Bridge to save an 18- [?]ths-old Indian girl who had fallen the river.

People on the spot, most of whom [?] e Indian non-swimmers, told the con [?]le that it was useless to go after the [?]d. Wearing heavy khaki overalls, and [?]rt of breath after running several [?]dred yards to the middle of the [?]ge, Constable Jone dived, swam to the [?] onscions baby, “shook the water out of [?] ” and for 20 minutes battled in deep [?]er. Two Indians brought a boat when rescuer was in the last stages of [?] austion after a futile attempt to get of his waterlogged overalls while still ling the child above the surface.
