Great Wave Sweeps Sydney Esplanade
SYDNEY, Monday. A great wave, believed to have been caused by a local submarine upheaval, swept across Cronulla Beach Esplanade on Sunday morning, engulfing a number of people. Some saved themselves from being carried out to sea by the receding wave by grasping the railways across which they were being washed. Others were rescued by lifesavers. A girl, walking on the esplanade, had her skirt torn by the wave, which was more than eight feet deen when it reached the roadway.
