CHILD'S LIFE SAVED
NEATLY, QUICKLY, UNOBTRUSIVELY.
A correspondent writes to the Christchurch Press to record what he describes as the quickest and neatest and most unobtrusive case of life-saving of which he ever heard. He states:
"Yesterday I saw a child fall into a deep place in the river Avon. A gentleman passing by on his bicycle jumped off his machine, ran to the bank, took a header into the pond, and fished that child out and had it back In' the urnm of its terrified nursemaid almost before .'■'. the latter had time to scream, got on bicycle and rode away in his drip/ '" ping clothes as if that sort of thjug ' was all in the day's work. ■ ThVr* \ wasn't even time for anybody but myself and the nursemaid to notioe. what had happened."
