ATTACKED BY PARALYSIS. ON ROCKS FOR A WEEK. SYDNEY, August 13. "Wilfred Aidan Furay, formerly a sergeant-major in the A.T.F., who was collecting fpr the Sydney Blind Institution, died in Berga Hospital to-day. Furay was walking around the rocks at Tathra, when his legs became paralysed, and his voice failed. He remained out on the rocks for a week without food or water. He was within a few feet of the roadway, but ti-tree bush precluded passers-by from seeing him. Furay, who was a Master of Arts, was well-known in Queensland and New South Wales.
