HOUSE DESTROYED
RAIN CAUSES LANDSLIDE
(By Telegraph—Press' Association.l
CHRISTCHURCH, February 24.
Loosened by phenomenal rain in the backblocks, a landslide crashed down a hill on the West Coast road on Tuesday afternoon and completely destroyed the residence of Mr. Alec Bryson, a roadman employed between Cass and the Bealay. Nobody was in the house at the time, Mrs. Bryson and two children having left by the express for the West Coast earlier in the day. Had they been in the house they must have been smothered, as when the landslide stopped there was little or nothing to be seen of the building.
