    A CHILD HEROINE
GIRL’S BRAVERY IN LYTTELTON
        HARBOUR
BOAT WITH FIVE CHILDREN
   NEARLY SWAMPED
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
 CHRISTCHURCH, 10th May.
  A twelve-foot dinghy containing five #children, the eldest a girl of 13 and the youngest two years, the family of J. Burns, chief signalman at Adderley Head, was blown out into #Lyttelton harbour during a heavy southerly squall this morning. The children were paddling near the jetty at Little Port Cooper when the squall caught the little craft. From the harbour the eldest girl, Isabel, managed to row the boat into comparative shelter under Adderley Head and dropped anchor. The anchor, however, commenced to drag, and Isabel dived overboard and tried to swim ashore to make the line fast to the rocks. She could not make the landing, so she swam back to the dinghy, and with the greatest difficulty regained the boat. A heavy sea was running, and she was hanging on to the gunwale for half an hour before a big sea swept her back into the boat.
