BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
A BOY'S PRHSBNCB OF MIND. itHLBOURNE, October 10. Two brothers, Gordon, and Sidney Lowe, aged respectively 16 and 9 years, were walking through the bush at Goroke, when Sidney trod on a snake, which bit him twice on the leg, just above the ankle. Gordon immediately tied a handkerchief round the leg, cut out two lumps of flesh with his pocket knife, sucked the wounds and carried his brother on his back a mile and a half to a neighbour's house. Here he borrowed a horse and rode 16 miles over bad roads to Goroke for a doctor. The neighbour drove the younger boy to Goroke, where he was attended by the doctor and is now recovering.
