The morning after the recent flood came down and inundated the Moutnu. a farmer living near the old Shannon bridge set out in a boat to search for two pigs ' which weie housed in the flooded : area. They were found on an old bridge which was floating about, but anchored by a piece of wire. As the boat pulled alongside two mice were seen perched on one animal’s back. The sow, however, took fright and jumped overboard with her “passengers.” When she reappeared above the water again, one of the mice was still hanging on and remained until, it was taken off.
