  Notes	Poverty Bay Herald, Australia, 27 November 1909 Accidents and Fatalities A double drowning fatality occurred at Cronulla Beach, near Sydne, last week. Two brothers, Sydney and Hubert James Bass, recent arrivals from Buckinghamshire, England, proceeded for a bath from the shore at The Oaks Point. Hubert, the younger, aged 23 years, had swum out some distance, and was apparently in difficulties. The elder brother, Sydney, aged 30 years, noticing his brother?s plight, and being a strong swimmer, went to his assistance. The occurrence so often happening in such cases was the result in this. The rescuer was grasped by the drowning man and both sank. An alarm was at once raised by the few persons about this spot, and two members of the Cronulla Surf Club, whose central quarters are fully a mile away ? at the beach where most of the surf-bathing takes place ? hastened in a boat to the spot, and the position of the bodies having been located Frank Giddins dived in, and after some difficulty, succeeded in releasing one of the bodies and brought it to the surface. All efforts at resuscitation proved futile.
