SWEPT OFF THE ROCKS
MAN AND WOMAN DROWNED
A DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE SYDNEY, May 24. (Reeehed May 25, at 0.30 a.m.) A man and a woman, neither of whom has been identified, were washed off the cliffs near Bronte to-day and drowned. It is believed that the man was fishing and the woman looking on from a higher ledge. The man was engulfed by a wave. He was a strong swimmer and tried for half an hour to reach the rocks, watched by people on the cliff-top who were helpless to aid him. Finally he waved farewell and sank.
The woman descended the rocks and apparently tried to seize the man. She was swept into the sea.
