HISTORY

1931 Fierce Storm Strikes Fremantle. A Narrow Escape. Evidence of narrow escapes from death or serious injury by Mr. and Mrs. Bennett was contained in the heaps of bricks on the floor beside the bed in which they were asleep. A brick chimney had been blown down with such force as to crash through both roof and ceiling, leaving a gaping hole several feet across. Their two children were sleeping in an adjoining room, which was least damaged of any. Striking the house at the rear, the wind tore the iron roof away practically bodily, and some of the sheets of Iron were carried a quarter of a mile. A piece of 4 by 3 jarrah roofing timber was picked up this morning two streets away. "It was a like big-gun bombardment," said Mr. Bennett this morning when recounting his experience. We thought daylight would never arrive as we busied ourselves trying to find a dry spot in the house in which to place the furniture." (reference)

1938 Swamped By Wave Yacht Sinks Off Rottnest. About a mile north of Bathurst Point, Rottnest, in 60 feet of water, is a comparatively new 16-foot yacht. It sank there on Tuesday after being swamped. After searching for it on Wednesday and yesterday, the owner has abandoned his efforts. On Tuesday, William Sims (34), signal man, of Rottnest Island, went for a fishing cruise in his yacht Belinda, with Harry Bennett (42), of Irwin-street, Fremantle, who was spending the Christmas holidays at the island. When they were about a mile north of Bathurst Point on the return journey, the wind suddenly changed from east to south-west, and the vessel, temporarily out of control, was swamped by a big wave. "We were taken unawares," said Mr. Sims yesterday, "and the boat sank in about five or 10 minutes, the air in her decking preventing her from going straight under. I had worked her throughout the winter without any trouble, and I think that the lead ballast this time slipped across into her stern, causing her to heel over." Both occupants kicked off their clothes and started the mile swim to the shore. "We received a bit of a shock," said Mr. Sims, "but we thought we could make the distance easily." They had only been swimming about 10 minutes when they were picked up by the yacht Sobrona, which was being sailed by Mr. K.G. Mitchell, of 16 Lincoln-street. Highgate, who had seen the other men go under and immediately went to their assistance... (reference)
