The swift current carried him against a tree, and he managed to catch hold 'of one of the branches, In the meantime the horse came drifting along, and Mr Bradly seized the opportunity of catching hold of the horse's tail, and, after struggling in the water for about fifteen minutes, both fortunately reached • the land. The party returned to Waiwera ' where a change to dry clothes was most acceptable.
