UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
THE HAZARDS OF PLOUGHING LEG CUT WHEN CHAIN BROKE Ploughing is not usually regarded as a hazardous occupation. An unusual accident which occurred at Fairlight (Southland) recently shows that it may not always be unattended with danger. Mr C. J. Adams was opening up a new paddock with a plough drawn by a team of horses, when a link in one of the plough chains broke, and a section of the link flew back with such force as to penetrate the thickest part of the- calf of his leg, making a clean cut also through the clothing in its passage. Mr Adams is now a patient in the Southland Hospital, where he is. making satisfactory progress.
