PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Scissors Pierce Vein
Little Girl's Plight
On Monday last a peculiar acci
dent befel Florence Fleming, the
seven-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. Fleming, of Ross Hill,
which though at the time appear- :
ed trivial, proved serious and may
have resulted in the little girl's
death.
It appears that Mrs. Fleming was
removing a frock from the machine,
and, in doing so, a pair of scissors,
concealed under the garment, were
dragged off the machine and, failing
point-downwards, pierced the little
girl's thigh, inflicting a small puncture.
When the scissors were removed, a
strong stream of blood spurted from
the wound and it was evident that a
vein had been pierced. 'The haemor
rhage was stopped, however, and the
girl was put to bed.
Later, she called to her father for
a drink, and when taking it remarked
that, there was a lot of blood on her-
bed. On investigating, Mr. Fleming
was horrified to discover that the
kiddie was lying in a pool of blood,
whilst the sheets near her thigh were
saturated. A doctor was speedily call
ed and the child was removed to In-
nishowen private hospital, where a
minor operation was performed yes
terday.
Inquiries this morning elicited that
the child, though weak, ws showing
satisfactory progress.
