The tree parted, and in doing bo, struck the scaffolding, a portion of which flew up and struck George on the back, throwing him on his face to the ground. The father said his eyes grow dim at the sight of his son lying prostrate from such a blow, but when he had partially recovered he picked the boy up quite dead, and wont to some natives who assisted him to convey the body to the edge of the bush, and Mr. Hannou's coach passing by, conveyed the corpse to Te Papa.
