| 351 | Midland Railway Accident Midland Railway Accident. FURTHER DETAILS SOME MAEVELLOUS ESCAPES GERALDTON PASSENGERS EXCELLENT WORK. INJURED REMOVED TO MOORA. Our Moora correspondent telegraphed further details of the accident states:? The engine and tender got over the washaway safely, then came the truck and the coaches with the sleeper following. The truck fell into the chasm caused by the washaway, and the coaches smashed into it. Portions of the truck and coaches were piled up and smashed into matchwood. It was a fearful wreck and it was marvellous how any of the passengers escaped. Mr J Kendrick left his luggage in the leading' compartment and went into another compartment to join, some friends. The compartment in which the luggage was left was reduced to splinters. One of the rails of the permanent way was driven right through the leading coach narrowly missing several persons. Immediately after the crash, all the passengers realized what had occurred and all those in the sleeping carriages hearing the cries and groans from the front carriages proceeded at once with rescue work. Mr J Kendrjck was able to render invaluable service., and was splendidly assisted by Miss Jeffrey of the Geraldton Hotel, and Mr H J Hughes, Inspector of Schools. The knowledge of first aid possessed by these three was of signal value and Mr Kendrick was in charge. The. passengers describe Miss Jeffrey as a perfect marvel of coolness and nerve and skill. The only cases described'as doubtful are Mrs Woolhouse and Mr J H Balley. The remainder of the killed are being taken to Midland Junction and the injured were taken of to Moora for treatment at the local hospital | Kendrick, Joseph (I313)

| 356 | 1923 'DAIRY AND FARM PRODUCE SECTION In what might be called the housewifery classes, a Geraldton lady, Mrs. A. W. Haigh, was conspicuous by the number and excellence of her exhibits, and romped home an easy winner for the society's special prize, obtaining 22 points, the next highest number being 11. That bacon can be made in this district is certain. The exhibits proved it, and inside one regret more than ever the necessity for the discontinuance of the bacon section at the butter factory. Mr. A. T. Thurkle, of Dongarra, and The Ironbarks, were the most successful bacon exhibitors, and what can be so well done by amateurs could surely be profitably carried out under factory conditions. | Pead, Blanche Emmeline (I15)

| 375 | 1926 THE GREENOUGH FLOOD IN 1888 THE GREENOUGH FLOOD IN 1888. One of the most serious floods in the history of this State occurred at Greenough Flats on February 5, 1888. Following torrential rains, the flood water came down with a rush, completely inundating the flats. Four lives were lost, and there were many narrow escapes from death. Numbers of live stock were drowned, houses were destroyed and hay stacks and fences were washed away. The damage was estimated at well over £20,000, and a fund was raised in Perth to aid the unfortunate settlers. Dongarra was also affected, the residents having to flee from their houses and sleep in the sand hills. That the loss of life was not greater was due mainly to the tireless effort of Mr. Maitland Brown, Government Resident at Gcraldton, and a small band of helpers. On receiving news of the disaster they secured two boats and placed them on a train, which was taken as far along the line as was safe. A hand trolley conveyed them to the edge of the flooded area, where the party embarked.They then spent two whole days in rescue work. The four people drowned were William Bone, Mr. and Mrs. Cole, and Mrs Bridgeman. Bone was searching for his children when he became entangled in a fence, and was unable to escape. Cole and his wife, an old couple, who lived alone, met their deaths in a pathetic manner. Having placed all their goods on tables and shelves, the old man took his wife in his arms and tried to reach the next house, only a short distance away. He was resting for a moment by a tree when they were overcome. The Bridgemans were rescued by a party, which floated down to the house on a raft made of an old horse trough lashed to two barrels. The 'West Australiin' of February 11, describes how Gee Mong, a Malay, employed by the family, managed to get them on to the roof. When the water got so high near the top, Geo Mong actually forced a hole through the roof by using his head as a battering ram. His hands and even his feet were otherwise engaged the former holding one of the children and the latter being held by poor Mr Bridgeman. When he appeared on the roof he carried the child with its clothes gripped between his teeth.Mrs. Bridgeman perished before she could be lifted to the roof. A lighter note is struck by the description of a man who sought refuge in a tree top having to dip himself in the water every few minutes to rid himself of ants, which had preceded him to the spot. Other less serious floods occurred at Greenough in 1862, 1872, and 1882 In 1872 the flats were two feet under water. | Bone, William (I242)

About two months ago he went to Port Hedland on a visit to his son-in-law and daughter (Mr. and Mrs. Frank Leeds), of Abydross .Station, and' it was while there that his health really failed him and he was forced to take to his bed, finally passing away on Saturday last.
