DRAMATIC RESCUE: BADLY HURT

ONE MISSING

MAN AMUCK NEAR PEAK TRAM

An extraordinary affair, in which at least three European children were thrown into a nullah by an apparently demented Chin- ese, occurred this afternoon.

One was rescued on the spot. One was rescued from the har- bour down to which he was swept by the raging flood waters.

Another is said to be missing.! It is believed that the man re- sponsible ran amuck and it is stated that he afterwards threw himself into nullah and his body has not been recovered.

The welcome news is the consequence of the phenomenally heavy rains of the last twenty-four hours, which have been the heaviest in a similar period for several

The city bore the strangest appearance this morn- ing when tramcars were running with all lights on owing to the deep gloom produced by dark clouds overhead. Many motorists followed the example.
