common half bred native and Bombay
variety got washed In the food down
the Umgeni river, which flows through
the town gardens. The ducks both
got entangled in the barbed wire and
wire netting which crosses from bank
to bank. One managed, by much Zap
ping Of wings, to extricate itself; the
other seemed, however, to be on the
point Of drowning when a large os-
trich stalked out of the bush and wad-
ed into the river. lifted it bodily out Of
the water and carried 1t ashore by one
wing
The duck was not badly hurt, but its
rescuer was severely torn on it's thigh

dent is all the more remarkable, an the
