SWEPT FROM ROCKS
MAN AND WOMAN DROWNED AN AUSTRALIAN TRAGEDY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, May 24. A man and a woman, neither of whom has been identified, were washed off the cliffs near Bronte to-day and drowned. It is believed that the man was fishing and the woman looking on from a higher ledge. The man was engulfed by a wave. He was a strong swimmer, and tried for half an hour to reach the rocks, watched by people on the cliff top who were helpless to aid him. Finally he waved farewell and sank. The woman descended the rocks cud apparently tried to seize the man. She was swept into the sea.
