CHILD DROWNED
SON OF MR. ALF. BRUSTAD. Carl Walter Bfustad, aged two years and two months, the only child of Mr Alf. Brustad, was drowned in the dip on his father’s property at Waiau on Tuesday morning. The father and others were in the woolshed talking, and the child was with them. He evidently wandered away, but his action was unnoticed for about 10 minutes. A search was made, and almost immediately he was found in the sheep dip. Efforts at resuscitation were made and Dr. Todd, of Rotherham, was immediately called by telephone. He found, however, that the child was dead. Great sympathy is felt with Mr Brustad, who was formerly well known as a guide at the Hermitage, Mount Cook. It will be recalled that Mrs Brustad, who was formerly Miss Aroha Clifford, died at the birth of this child.
