A terrible accident is reported from Starthalbyn (South Australia). Two little boys named Prisk while playing with matches set fire to a drum of kerosene, which burst scattering the oil over the children and another standing by, instantly wrapping them in flames.The father threw the children into a tub of water. The youngest, two years of age, diedfrom the injuries, and the other are much burnt. The flames spread to the outbuildings doing £100 worth of damage.
