Many of our readers who have been accustomed to travel between the Dunstan and Dunedin by way of the Rock and Pillar Ranges, will be sorry to learn that Mrs. Codling, of the Deep Stream Hotel, was accidentally drowned a few days since. It appears that she slipped into the Deep Stream while endeavoring to rescue some poultry which was in danger of being swept away by the current. There was no possibility of saving the unfortunate lady.   -Dunstan Times, 13/11/1868.
