While sheep were being mustered on a propertv known as Titler’s Hili, near Wakefield, one of the dogs drove some 17 sheep over the Slip, which is practically perpendicular (says the Nelson Mail) The sheep landed some 17 t< 20 feet below the break, and all efforts to more them failed. The next day Messrs R. Hoult. a.id C. A. Bnigent decided to lower two boys securely tie 1 with ropes to the level of Hie sheep so that the latter could be secured, ami hauled to the top. After several hours hard work 14 sheep were rescued. Th l remaining three had fallen to the bottom of the cliff hundreds of feet below and were, killed. It was a risky job, and everyone did his part well.
