During the'recent flood at Dunedin two small Boy Scouts performed a prompt and plucky deed, which has earned the highest, praise from all who witnessed the incident (states the "Star”). An old lady between 70 and 80 years of age was trying to negotiate the fqotpath in Mcßride Street, South Dunedin, when the flood was at its height about 10 a.m. She - was seen struggling through, the watet, which was knee deep, and, becoming exhausted, collapsed and disappeared in the water. She was unable to rise, and the two Scouts rushed to her assistance. Her weight was too much for the little fellows to carry, but they held her up by the shoulders, and this saved her from a situation which, in view of her age and might Tiave cost her < her life.
