A SIGHT NEVER SEEN BY MAN IN TARANAKI BEFORE.-Part of Mr. W. O. Williams’ dairy farm on Mere Mere Road, Hawera. The home shown in the illustration, occupied by Mr. P. Pepperill, stands normally over 20 feet above river level. The hedges around the house are about four feet in height. The rapidity of the river rising can be judged by the fact that Messrs. Pepperill Bros., when on their way to the factory with two loads of milk, had to abandon the waggons and make for safety with their horses. The milk waggons may be seen to the right of the house. The property lies 300 yards north of Tangahoe Bridge, in the corner of Tangahoe and Mungumungu rivers.
