A Vegetable Smash.— Wong Hap, a vegetable raiser from the Flowery Land, who carries on business at Arrowtown, but visits Mattatapu, Macetown, and Cardrona, met with a mishap last week on his way to the latter Elace. His horses, attached to a spring cart, acked over a bank, the whole concern pulling up in a creek with a sudden stop, and reduced to kindling wood it was mixed up with the vegetables and other merchandise in a kind of Chinese puzzle. One of the two horses was killed, but Wong Hap, walking at the time of the accident, escaped unhurt. Otago Witness , Issue 1799, 14 May 1886, Page 12
