PERILS OF THE DIAMOND.
Rescue of Native Miners from
"Mud-Rush."
One morning a band of nam
bard at work in a corner of the mi
at Kimberley were startled by a di
noise as if a few tons of some sc
substance had been hurled agaii
the high door that separated t
spot where they worked from t
long tunnel that led to the sha

they cried and dropped their pic
in an instant. A mud rush mea
certain death to all in its track,
gives no warning. It comes silent
like an ugly, wriggling snake;
works its way swiftly, spares not
ing, covers everything.
The Englishmen at the opening
the tunnel roared out, "Climb to t
top of the wall!" which the nativ
promptly did. There for the tir
at least they were safe. "Stay whe
you are!" the Eglishmen called. "
you jump down you will be sucked
and suffocated in two minutes!" So<
the tunnel was a tunnel no longt
but a mass of quivering slime. Ti
mud flowed for hours. Then it gra
ually slowed and ceased.
The Englishmen outside sat roui
on a neighboring rock and looki
down helplessly into the pit. A
manner of suggestions were mad
most of them worthless, but in tl
end it was decided to try to rea<
the men, not by removing the mu
but by passing over it. One man la

handed to him, with which he beg<
to cut into the mud and pull himse
along as a man face downward in
canoe might pull himself forwa:
with a paddle. He worked brave
on, half-inch by half-inch. Then a
other man put down a plank and fc
lowed him.
In half an hour six men were la
fiat on six planks in the midst <
the mud. There was 6-"? feet of mi
- between them and it were these th:
planks that might keel over at ar
moment and send them to a suff

When the man on the first plan

were huddled he called to then

Slowly the men on the planks sli
back, leaving the wooden line h

mass underneath looked as hard c
a rock, but was as soft as porrids
and trembled horribly. As each ma

it- fair and requested them to be on the
10- watch out for the men. Their names
and other data were furnished the

a sister or sister-in-law, were alone
in the house. The men are said to
have forced an entrance to the

house. Their approaches were ren_
sented by the two women and a lively
struggle ensued. One of the men
is said to have struck the married *
' woman over the head with a lantern
