On searching, the mother found the baby lying in about two feet of water m a race that passes through the -yard, and which is netted- off except at a spot leading across a plank to the fowl run. Dr. Helen Cowrie was summoned, and in the meantime the parents tried every available means to restore animation, but without success.
