A Terrible Death

In the early hours of Tuesday morning employees on one of the floors of the Colonial Sugar Company’s Pyrmont mills (Sydney) discovered a human foot protruding from a huge sugar vat at the point whore the sugar is taken off and conveyed to other parts of the building. Assistance was immediately secured, and efforts were made to extricate the uafortunato man. The workers hastily started on their task of emptying the immense vat of its many tons of sugar, and after an hour an a half’s labor the body of Theodore Whitney was rescued. The young man’s right foot was terribly mangled. The Civil Ambulance Brigade convoyed Whitney to the Sydney Hospital, and an examination showed that life was extinct.
