Fatality At Bulolo
p. 28 · Read in the full issue
From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Oct. 4.
ON October 2, H. Brooke, an oiler on the No. 7 dredge of the Bulolo Gold Dredging Co., was aloft carrying out his work, when he was struck by a cable.
He lost his grip and fell 30 feet to the deck of the dredge, and thence into the water—which is about 80 feet deep around the dredge, and has a silt bottom.
In spite of immediate efforts to locate him, his( body has not yet been recovered.
Rev. J. D. Madigan, of the Sacred Heart Mission, Rabaul, N.G., arrived in Sydney in September.
