TWO BULLOCKS BOGGED
WORKERS TAKE COMPASSION. INCIDENT AT LYTTELTON. Two bullocks unloaded from the steamer Joint, which arrived at Lyttelton from Wanganui, broke through the pens at the cattle jetty and ran on to the reclaimed land, both becoming bogged. After a struggle lasting several hours one of the animals was able to move a little nearer the jetty.- a its party of watersiders volunteered to rescue the bullocks, and with the aid of ropes and planks were successful after about an hour add" a half. As* the bullocks could not stand when lifted from the mud without sinking in the open crevices the rescuers tied their legs together and dragged them to linn ground.
The action of the owners of the bullocks in leaving them to suffer alt day without attention was adversely commented up,on. Credit is due to the men who took compassion-on the animals and rescued them.
