"I was cutting the corner off a gammon of bacon when I discovered I had
sawn through a piece of glass which was lying quite close to and
parallel with the thigh-bone, and had I known of its presence I could
have taken it out whole. It measures, when put together, six and a
quarter inches. How it got into this position is a mystery, as there was
no indication of its progress anywhere and the meat was perfectly
healthy and in no way discoloured. Whether the poor pig swallowed it or
sat on it I leave for your readers to conjecture. Photo, by W. B.
