DOG CRASHES 2000 FEET
NEARLY BROUGHT PLANE DOWN (Received 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A racing grey hound, when being brought from Brisbane to Sydney in an air liner yesterday nearly caused a major accident en. route. The dog apparently did not relish his trip in an aeroplane, in which there were eight passengers. He escaped from a basket crate in the luggage compartment, and clawed his way through the plane’s fuselage. He either accidentally fell, or was hurled 2,000 feet when over Goff’s Harbour, where v the."pilot felt a sudden interference with the rudder control, causing the plane to dip perilously and endanger the lives of those aboard. The incident soon passed, and when Mascot Aerodrome was reached a large hole was found;in the fuselage and the dog was missing. Evidence was seen of two other attempts by the dog to escape.
