Accident at Somabula Mission

Brother T. J. Gibson, superintendent of the Somabula Mission, South Africa, by an accidental discharge of his gun, lost his right arm. Before getting medical attention the native boy with him ran the ox-team eighteen miles, reaching Gwelo seven and one-half hours after the accident. During this time Brother Gibson lost much blood, but is recovering. A telegram later from his wife states that a second operation became necessary, the arm being removed at the shoulder joint. All will sympathize with these workers in this affliction.
