ATROCIOUS WEATHER
TWO PENSIONERS DIE OE COLD. CYCLONIC GALES EXPERIENCED. (Australian Press Association). (Received this day at 9.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, June 10. Accompanied by bitterly cold weather, cyclonic winds, reaching a velocity of sixty-two miles an liotu, spread havoc throughout the metropolis and along the coast. Two old age pensioners died in different suburbs as a direct result of the extremely low temperature, the lowest for the year. A brick wall crumpled at Marrickville burying a boy. He is likely to die. In other suburbs razed and broken trees, hundreds of broken windows and flying roofs were left in the trail of the gale.. 1 Blown to sea off Collaroy in a fishing boat five men just struggled ashore with their lives. Thundering seas pounded along the coast and shipping was delayed. a large freighter, with anchors diagging and screws racing for half an hour managed to avert being dashed on the breakwater at Port Kembla. When a punt collided with a launch in the harbour eight people were tlirillingly rescued. Many smaller craft dragged their moorings.
