By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
Rec. 10.50 p.m. Sydney, Aug. 25. A boyish instinct for adventure caused Slewart Fitzhardinge, aged. 16, to build himself a sort’of nestlike bed in the fork of a Moreton Bay fig tree 30 feet high at Double Bay, to which he climbed the first time on Sunday night and slept there. He repeated the Act last night, but apparently rolled out overnight and crashed to the concrete path below and was killed. Four comrades had contemplated emulating the nest-bed, but the opinions of all have changed now.
