Alarming Accident at Wainuiomata: Gallant conduct of three young ladies

We are indebted to a Wainuiomata correspondent for an account of an act
of great gallantry of three young ladies in that district. It appears
that two daughters of Mr R. Prouse and a cousin of theirs, Miss Johnson,
went on top of the hill on Saturday to gather ferns. As they were returning
a little nephew of the young ladies, named George G. Burdan, four years of
age, ran to meet them. He was attempting to cross the Wainuiomata river
by means of the narrow footbridge (consisting of a plank 18 inches wide
and a handrail) when he fell into the water, which at this spot is very
deep. The girls, seeing him fall, ran to the river bank. The eldest, Miss
Annie Prouse, who is about 17 years of age, plunged into the water, and
when taking hold of the boy got out of her depth, the result being that
both of them sank. Miss Emma Prouse seeing her sister and the little
fellow drowning, then followed in to try to save them; but she also went
beyond her depth and sank with the rest. The current, however, carried
them along to a shallow part of the river, and they were fortunately able
to regain a footing, Miss Johnson helping them out. At first it was
feared the little boy was dead, but he soon showed signs of life on
being taken ashore and attended to. Miss Annie Prouse was also found to
be quite exhausted. Altogether the adventure was a very perilous one,
and the young ladies are to be complemented on the very plucky way in
which they acted.
