A narrow escape from drowning took place at Hukarere recently (reports the Reefton correspondent of the Greymouth Star). Two children, returning from school, had to cross a stream which a cloudburst on the hills had converted into a raging torrent. The elder of the two attempted to cross the plank which serves as a bridge, but midway across she became giddy and fell into the stream, and was at once swept away before the eyes of her companion, aged six years. The latter, however, at once ran screaming for assistance, and after going about a mile and a quarter met a man, who ran to the creek, and after searching for a while found the little girl in a clump of blackberries, fortunately with her head above water, but unconscious. She was at once got to land, and first aid rendered, arid the child brought to. During her perilous sweep down the river the child had been torn under three fences and sustained severe, bruises.
