PELL SIXTY-FIVE FEET. LIFT WORKER SLIPS. MARVELLOUS ESCAPE. MELBOURNE. May 22. A bruispcl foot and a broken nose are all that George Thomas, of Fairfield, has to show for his fall of 55ft down a lift well on Saturday morning. Thomas is employed as an electrician by Johns and Waygood, Ltd,, and was working on the wiring of an elevator which is in course of construction at a new building three storeys high in Little Bourko street. Thomas stepped on to the end ol a plank, which his weight caused to lilt, and he fell headlong. ' His escape from death is remarkable, and is attributed by one of llte workmen to die fact that a coil of rope and a heavy sifting of dust and sand were just where ho fell. Ho narrowly escaped being impaled on a large book suspended from a winch.
