MAROONED IN FLOOD.
BUSH GIRL TO TIIE RESCUI
To find herself marooned with her cliil.t in a. baggy from which the liorse linn frantically extricated itself, in the swirling waters of the Mann River, New South Wales, was recently the startling expert-ejr-e of Mrs. Fletcher, of Skeleton Creek.
Mrs. Fletcher’s position was desperate indeed when Miss Ethel Morley, whose home overlooks flip river, untie on the scene, and with the resource fulness oi the Australian hush girl, saved the situation.
Back to the farm the girl raced, yoked up the nearest horse to a dray, and drove it tull-t.Mt into the Hood. Fastening tin stranded buggy to the back of the dray, ■she towed it ashore, and thus rescued the occupants, who were dreadfully seared, but otherwise little the worse for their close call.
