A Daring Act.
(Per Press Association.) Sydney, Novr. 18. A light bridge thrown across the river near Burke impeded traffic on the river and prevented a river steamer passing. The captain of the steamer requested the contractors to remove the obstruction, but the latter stated that the structure had been handed over to Government and declined to interfere in the matter. The captain thereupon attached a tow line to one of the supports of the bridge and unceremoniously hauled the whole structure down and when the debris bad been washed away quietly' proceeded on his journey.
