A SENSATIONAL LEAP.
[Per Press Association.]
HOBART, January 22.
A sensational leap from the mail train running between Hobart and Launceston was made by a young girl named Brown. While travelling in a compartment with Davidson, a member of'a firm of engineers, the girl fell asleep, and Davidson alleges that he took a sip of cough mixture containing peppermint and aniseed. The girl awoke, and, believing the smell to be that of chloroform, tried to attract the attention of passengers in the next compartment. Failing to do so, she then dropped from the window. The girl was found uninjured, except for a few bruises. Davidson was taken into custody, but it is generally believed the girl was laboring under an hallucination.
