Cliff

Car Hurtles 200Ft. Over

Young Man Killed In Fiji Accident

From Our Own Correspondent

Suva, May 21.

'TVERRIBLE injuries, resulting in his -*■ death later in the day, were received by a young man, Mr. Arthur Murray, aged 23, when the car he was driving hurtled nearly 200 feet down a cliff on the Suva- Rewa road in the early morning of April 28.

There were three other young people, Miss E. Low and Messrs. H. Stackhouse and T. Young, besides an Indian and a Fijian in the car, which was returning to Nausori from Suva, and they had a miraculous escape from death, Mr. Stack house received serious back injuries, but is making a good recovery.

The car left the road on a slight bend and somersaulted over and over down the cliff, coming to rest partly under water in a creek in the gully. It was a closed car, and on the descent the roof was torn open, all the occupants being thrown out, apparently about the last bounce of the vehicle, for they were all found near the car.

Miss Low, who was in the front seat with the driver, had an amazing escape, receiving only a few scratches. Both she and the driver were found unconscious in the creek.

Mr. Murray had been in the Colony only about 12 months, having come from Auck land, New Zealand. He was in the employ of Messrs. Leyland’s butchery at Nausori.
