SYDNEY CUTTER ACCIDENT.
A BRAVE CAMPER. Sydney,. March 17. The Tingara cutter accident occurred off Dobroyd Point, one of the most dangerous spots in the harbour. Although the cause is not clear it is assumed that a heavy sea struck the boat broadside on and capsized it. The plight of the crew was not noticed for some time. The first intimation was received by two campers on the Point, one of whom immediately swam out a distance of 300 yards and brought one boy ashore. After rescuing a second boy he collapsed and was compelled to abandon further attempts. The police and other campers rescued the remainder of the boat's crew with the exception of five.
