| News-Arct* | 25 May 1867 | The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser; Narrow Escape from Drowning. An accident happened to Mr. James Finch, brother to Mr. Alexander Finch, the landlord of the Booligal Hotel, which should act as a warning to all parties who endeavour to cross any creeks or rivers in a state of flodd. It appeared that Mr. James Finch was driving a team of horses going to the sawpit for stuff, at a place about twenty miles above Booligal, last Thursday morning. The night previous, even so late as ten o'clock, the bed of the river was quite dry, but in the morning the flood came down, and there was about eight feet of water, and the current running very strong; nothing daunted, however, Mr. Finch yoked up his horses, and standing up in the dray, urged them to cross; they faced the stream well, but when they got into the middle of the river the current proved too strong for them, and they turned round, and the dray becoming entangled in some legs, the driver was precipitated into the river. Fortunately Mr. Finch could swim a little, but through getting his arm entangled in the reins he was pulled under twice, and with great difficulty succeeded in reaching the opposite bank in a very exhausted condition. The three horses in the team, which it appears were very valuable, were, of course, drowned; one, however, that was tied behind managed to break his halter and to reach the bank. The dray and horses were got out with some considerable trouble. Booligal Correspondent of Pastoral Times.8 |
