BABY IN A SEWER.
CARRIED THROUGH TUNNEL. WONDERFUL ESCAPE. London, October 28. After passing half-a-mile through a sewage farm sewer at Croydon an 18-mont.h-old baby' named Willie Wyatc was fished out alive. Willie and his two-year-old brother Freddie crawled into a hole in the fence alongside the sewage farm. Willie fell into the sewer, in which there were 7*ft of water. He was borne half-a-mile through a tunnel under houses and gardens until he was stopped by an iron strainer. Freddie ran home and told his mother, who, assisted by a policeman and others, dragged out the child. After three hours’ efforts, aided by oxygen, he was restored to animation. He is in a critical state, but there are lopes of his recovery, despite fully half-an-hour’s immersion. Apparently a piece of timber held up his head for part of the time.
