TRAGEDY ON A YACHT.
MAN SHOT INSTEAD OF BIRD. A tragic accident occurred when Bruce Sinclair, 21, of South Perth, while sailing on the Swan River in the yacht Corona with Mr Moore, was shot dead.
Mr Moore levelled a sporting rifle at a bird on a post, and just as he fired Mr Sinclair’s head appeared out of the cabin. The charge went through Mr Sinclair’s head, and he died soon afterwards.
