MOTOR SMASH.

CAR RUNS INTO A LORRY.

DRIVER UNINJURED.

A motor accident occurred la Johnston Road, near the No. 2 Police Station soon after 9 o'clock this morning, resulting in a private motor car being badly damaged.

A lorry was following a tramear and following going eastward, closely behind the lorry was the private car, the only person in it at the time being the driver.

The tramcar pulled up at its usual stopping place a few yards to the west of No. 2 Police Station and Ap- the lorry stopped behind it. parently the driver of the private

car was taken unawares and, not having allowed much space between his vehicle and the lorry, he was un- able to pull up at short notica as that the car ran into the back of 'the lorry.

The lorry, which is higher than the car, did not receive much damage, but the front of the car was smashed. The glass of the windshield was shattered and splin-. ters flew into the car, but the driver was fortunate to escape injury.

"Well, Martin," said the country squire to his ex-footman who had left a year before to join the Navy and had returned on leave, "how do you like your new life?"

"Fine, sir" replied the sailor. "That's good," said the man's previous master.

"Yes, air It's a grand life. Once upon a time I didn't think much of the sea, though," the sailor explain- ed, "but now I see that the water's the finest thing in the world. For Was no. water in the world not one of us would instance, If there
