QUEENSLAND STORM
Fifty Deaths Reported FISHING LUGGERS FOUNDER BRISBANE, March 15. A cyclone swept the North Queensland coast on Tuesday morning. Ten deaths were reported early but the list jumped to 50 when a report was received from Port Douglas saying that two more luggers had foundered in the terrific seas at Bat Reef, 20 miles due east of Port Douglas. It is feared that still another lugger, named the Alexia, is lost. Details are meagre. Altogether six boats—three launches and three luggers —are missing. It is practically certain that they have foundered. An aerial search for the survivors was without result.
