SHEEP-DIP PANCAKES
CAMP COOK’S MISTAKE BUSHMEN POISONED (From Our Own Correspondent) WHANGAREI, Monday. Eleven bushmen were poisoned at * oster and Telfer’s mill at Whangaruru on Saturday when the camp cook unwittingly used sheep dip to mix with pancakes eaten at the mid-day meal. The tin had been wrongly labelled “egrg powder,” and it was not until serious symptoms appeared among the men, four Europeans and seven Maoris, that it was then found that the supposed egg powder was actually sheep dip, one of the constituents of which is a poison. The three men worst affected, Henry, Leslie and Edmund Allen, all of Helena Bay, were admitted to the Whangarei District Hospital at two o’clock yesterday morning when an antidote was promptly administered. Later in the day one of the men recovered sufficiently to be discharged. The other two are making good progress. '
