EMULATING THE BIRDS
BOY SLEEPS IN TEEE
FATAL FALL FROR* "NEST"
SYDNEY, 25th August,
A boyish instinct for adventure caused Stewart Fitzhardinge, aged 16, to build himself a sort of nestlike bed iv the fork of a Moreton Bay fig tree, 30 feet high, at Double Bay, to which he climbed for the first time on Sunday night, and slept there.
He repeated the act last night, but apparently rolled out while asleep. He crashed to the concrete path below and was killed.
Pour comrades had contemplated emulating the nest bed, but the opinions of all havo changed now.
