SAFETY CRASHES

Evidence By Air Expert

LOSS OF SOUTHERN CLOUD'

"WEATHER REPORT WAS FAVOURABLE."

Giving evidence before the Air Accident Investigation Committee to-day, Harold Eustace Camm, Assistant State Meteorologist, describing the conditions prevailing between Sydney and Melbourne on March 21, said the weather at 9 am was overcast and dull and from Sydney to Goulburn and Moss Yale was fine, with a light north to north-westerly wind.

From 'Goulburn south, bad weather increased, and between Goulburn and Albury it was raining steadily. Those conditions prevailed over eastern Victoria. There were thunderstorms and hailstorms at 9 a.m. in Victoria.

In reply to a question, Mr. Camm said "It is well to recognise that in Australia we control the largest meteorological area in the world and to main the service to any detail would be a matter of considerable expense, more, I believe that the Australian public would afford."

BOY'S DEATH.

The death of Leslie Herbert Camm, aged five years, has been reported to the coroner by the North Melbourne police, and an inquest will be held at the Morgue at 10 o'clock this morning.

Constable Shreck went to the house of Mr Harold Camm, Errol street, North Melbourne, and there found that the child, after suffering from a cold since Friday, had died in his sleep on Sunday.

Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957), Tuesday 16 July 1907, page 7

LITTLE BOY'S SUDDEN  DEATH.

At the Morgue on 16th July, Mr Candler the City Coroner, held an inquiry regarding the death of Leslie Herbert Camm, aged five years, which occurred suddenly at his father's residence.

Harold Camm, assistant station master at South Yarra, stated that the deceased was his son. He complained of having a slight cold, and on the following day said that his throat, was sore, but he had no difficulty in swallowing his food.

On 14th July deceased stayed in bed until midday, having taken some toast for his breakfast..He came down stairs at 1 p.m., and was playing with the other children until evening. He then ate a good tea and went to bed again.

At 10.30 witness's daughter took the child a drink of lemon water and sugar. Witness went upstairs' to see the little boy at midnight, and found him dead. Witness was living with his brother-in-law, whose child was also ill. Witness did not call in a doctor to see his child as the symptoms were only those of a slight cold. Witness never for one moment suspected that his child was afflicted with diphtheria.

Dr. George Campbell Rennie, of North Melbourne, stated that he had made an autopsy of the remains. The cause of death was diphtheria.

To the Coroner: The immediate cause of death was the obstruction of the air passages associated with the heart being weakened by diphtheria. The child had evidently died rapidly. The larynx had been gathering for some four or five days before death, and I think there would have been very suggestive symptoms apparent a medical man if he had been called in on 12th July to see the child. The early stages of diphtheria are very likely to be mistaken for a common cold or influenza. This could be described as a case of unsuspected diphtheria.
