A terrible tale of suffering is reported from Brundie, New South Wales: While riding over a run early in the week, Mr Thomas Martin had the misfortune to have his leg broken just above the ankle. The horse he was riding fell while crossing a creek, crushing the rider's leg on the bank. Being alone, he was unable to catch the horse again, and utilised a couple of branches as crutches and started through the bush for the nearest homestead, four miles distant. He repeatedly called for assistance, but none arrived until ho had almost completed his painful journey. His cries were,at last heard by Mr John Kennedy,- and with assistance the sufferer was conveyed to his home. His sufferings while travelling through the bush were terrible. Apart from the intense pain be suffered, the mosquitoes swarmed on him, and as both his hands were occupied by the orutebes, he was compelled to take off his coat and wrap it found his head. The ground was soft from the recent rain that had fallen, allowing the crude crutches to sink considerably. On one occasion he endeavored to avoid this when taking a rest byplacing the end of the stick on a piece of bark, but it slipped, allowing the injured man to fail on the broken limb, causing great agony, * It needs Lord Byron'sTrilliant pen, His clever, brainy h|jid, To tell us how and wily and when Some people are noLdead.
