cal Gardens as a keeper, had a sensational
about 7 o clock he was engaged in hosing
out the polar bears' house from outside the
enclosure. The attention of the director
(Mr. A. C. Minchin) and others was at-
tracted by terrible screams. Mr. Minchin
rushed to investigate and found May lying
of the two large white bears with his
right arm torn off at the elbow. The un-
fortunate man was taken to hospital in the
police ambulance.
He subsequently explained that he was
hosing when one of the bears, which were
in the exercising yards, grabbed the hose
and his hand and, pulling him against the
iron bars, tore his arm asunder. May
has been it the Zoo for 36 years, and was
regarded as a capable man with wild ani-
mals. He is a widower with a family.
His arm above the elbow was badly lace-
rated. The other part could not be found.
The bathing pool was emptied, but in vain.
It was reported from the hospital to-night
that May's condition was serious, and that
he was suffering from shock. it is not yet
