CROSSING THE CLYDE.—These photographs show how sheep are brought across the Clyde river for shearing on Erewhon station in Mid-Canterbury. Shearing is done in the summer when rivers are often in their most dangerous state because of melting snow and ice. The upper photograph shows a bridge formed out of a large tree trunk to which prefabricated decking and sides have been bolted. The lower picture shows a 70-year-old horse-drawn waggon doing service as a bridge across a smaller stream of the Clyde.
