MISSING CHILDREN
FOUND IMPRISONED IN BOILER
PERTH, October 2(1
But for the timely arrival of a railwayman three boys, Kenneth Victor Hellenrich (9), his brother, Jack (6), and Jack Armstrong (8), might have been starved to death in the boiler of an old locomotive at Midland Junction.
After leaving school yesterday the boys went to the railway workshops. Their non-arrival home after school was followed by a fruitless all-night search. A railway employee going to work early this morning heard the cries of the children and found the throe frightened boys imprisoned in the boiler of a derelict engine at an unfrequented place. They had been unable to reopen the door.
