A fatal accident occurred this afternoon at the Bulli Jetty, the re-erection of which is nearing completion. A young man named Albert Robinson fell a distance of 30ft from the upper deck and had his neck dislocated and his skull fractured. A piece of timber over 70ft long and three tons weight was being placed in position by a crane, and Robinson and another young man named B. Watson were working the winch. The timber had been elevated above its required position, and Watson placed a pawl in the winch, and was altering the gear to lower, when the machine ran backward. Robinson was hit by the handle, which revolved at a rapid pace, and knocked off the jetty. Both handles of the winch were broken off. Death was instantaneous. The body was recovered with grappling irons. Deceased had been employed at this work since Friday. He was 20 years of age, and lived at Thirroul"
