A remarkable example of a woman’s pluck and resource was related to a ..Taumanmui Press reporter the other day. She is a resident of that district. Some few years ago sho became alarmed at noticing the absence of a young child of hers and ran out to a well in the yard to find the covering thrown back and her child laying motionless at the bottom of nearly five feet of water, face upwards and with eyes and mouth open. The bottom of the well was 14 feet from the surface of the, ground. Without a moment’s hesitation she jumped down and 1 fished up the child, and held him at arm’s length above her head to drain the water from his mouth, at the same time chafing him to restore animation. She shouted for help, .but her cries at first only attracted another child of hers, one between two and three years of age, who actually shut down the cover of the well. Finally a negihibor heard the stifled cries and, summoning other help, rescued mother and child. They both rapidly recovered from their terrible experience. THE SPARK OF INSPIRATION.
