CHRISTMAS ABROAD
FINE WEATHER IN SYDNEY GREAT EXODUS FROM CITY (United Press Association) (By Electric Telesrapn-Copyrlgnti SYDNEY, Dec. 26. (Received Dec. 26, at 10 p.m.) A perfect summer weather favoured the holidays in New South Wales. There was a great exodus from the city to the country and seaside resorts, the inclusion of Tuesday making a splendid holiday break, which began generally on Saturday morning. A heavy death roll of road and other accidents has been recorded. So far 15 are dead, mainly through car and truck accidents. The Wanganella's passengers had an unenviable experience when, after arrival late last night, taxicabs were at a premium, and at least 200 passengers were compelled to remain until early morning sitting on top of their trunks awaiting transportation to their hotels and homes. The majority of the city cabs had been engaged for country trips and holiday vacations.
