Fragmentary account recalls Eureka stockade siege with Lalor and leaders, clashes at dawn, scores of casualties, and police conduct amid the Diggings revolt. It notes 300–400 defenders, 200 attackers, and fierce hand to hand fighting as sunrise revealed the cost and chaos.

Lure of Height and Tragic Falls At Beachy Head

A coastal danger tale recalls Beachy Head’s lure to jump with a woman leaping to her death and a man later found alive after a fall, dying hours after rescue. The piece notes urban high places like New York roofs and London’s Monument sparking similar impulses, urging possible closures to prevent more tragedies. It ends with a brief, unrelated domestic line about Dora and Flora and a boy named Jack.
