Alone For Three Days

Beside

Body of Companion

PERTH, Thursday.

When her companion died suddenly in a car on a lonely bush track, a woman was forced to spend three days alone near the body before being rescued.

Paul Hansen, book-keeper at Three Rivers station, collapsed and died in his car

25 miles from the station. A

woman he was driving did not know the country, and was unable to drive a car. She remained at the spot for three days and three nights, and was nearly distraught when found by Mr. J. Bow-man, manager of Three Rivers

station.

Hansen's body was buried

near the track.
