LOST IN THE SURF.
TWO GIRLS DROWNED. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The treacherous surf adjacent to Gosford yesterday claimed two girls, Elsie Bowcock, aged 14, and Beryl West, aged 10. Several men were also carried out. Captain Mclntyre's aeroplane, close by, hopped off with lifebelts, which were dropped from overhead and fell near the girls. The men, after a desperate fight, reached the beach. The elder girl's body has been recovered, but the other has not been found. The bathing party was made up to celebrate Elsie Bowcock's birthday.— Australian Press Association. ,
