A JUNGLE TRAGEDY,.

On Sunday, 13th ult. a number of Sandakan hospital patients were sitting, enjoying the cool of the evening-breeze,-on-the-bridge near the hospital entrance. Suddenly a large black cobra garged from the jungle, and came towards them at a great speed. Closely following the cobra came a large homadryad who caught up the former near the bridge, and struck at him three times, burying his fangs deep in him each time, So intent were the two snakes on their combat that neither noticed a hospital dresser, who walked up to the bemadryad and dealt him a blow across the back with a rotas, severing the spice, and killing him instantly. The

cobra was already practically dead.

The hemadryad is a splendid specimen, 9 feet 6 inches in length, with distinctive mark ings on bis diamond shaped head. The cobra is just over aix feet in length. Both snakes are being preserved in the hospital, for the in- spection of disbelievers.—British North Borneo Berată,
