Woman Missionary Killed

By Dog

From a Special Correspondent

Samarai, Mar. 10.

BADLY mauled by a dog, Miss Nellie Hullett, a South Australian member of the Anglican Mission at Dogifra, East ern Papua, since 1910, had to face a 100-miles sea trip in a small launch to reach medical aid. She died shortly after being admitted to Samara! Hospital.

An old favourite pet, the dog went into Miss Hullett’s room early in the morning and put his forelegs on the bed. Miss Hullett pushed him off, and he seized her forearm. She caught his ears with her free hand, and called for help.

A mission teacher rushed to her aid, but she refused to let the dog go lest someone else should be hurt. Snarling, the animal broke free and caught her other arm. Both arms were badly torn from wrist to shoulder.
