ARMY AIR ACE
CRACKED UP ON
JACK’S MOUNTAIN. |
Though Badly Injured Sticks to Ship
Twenty-seven Hours Then
Crawled Three Miles to
Public Highway.
Lying on a bed in the Centre Coun-
ty hospital from Wednesday until
yesterday Lieut. Cyrus K. Bettis, one
of the most intrepid aviators in the U.
S. army air service, is badly battered
and bruised as the result of his plane
crashing into the trees on the side of
Jack’s mountain, in the Seven moun-
tain range, on Monday afternoon, but
while serious, his injuries are not re-
garded as critical. His left leg is
broken above the ankle, his nose brok-
en and both upper and lower jaw frac-
tured in two places while the pupil of
his left eye is somewhat contused but
it is not believed the sight will be de-
stroyed.
Lieut. Bettis had a miraculous es-
cape from death, and the nerve he dis-
played in crawling almost three miles
on his hands and knees out of the deep
fastnesses of the mountain was little
short of marvelous.
was one of three army fliers enroute
from the Sesqui-Centennial in Phila-
delphia to Selfridge field, Mich., the
other two being Lieuts. Luther S.
Smith and John J. Williams. On their
course westward they flew up the Ju-
niata valley to Lewistown, thence took
their course across the Seven moun-
tains to Bellefonte. In crossing the
mountains the aviators ran into a
dense fog. Lieut. Smith was able to
keep his course and got over all right,
reaching his destination late in the
afternoon. Lieut. Williams crossed
the mountains safely but losing his
course came down at the Bellefonte
flying field at 12:45 and later contin-
ued his journey to Selfridge field.
Lieut. Bettis not only lost his course
in the fog but evidently became be-
wildered and in flying around sailed
into the south side of Jack’s mountain
near the top. - According to indica-
tions his plane went to the ground
nose first, rebounded and struck the
ground a second time. The motor was
torn loose and lay fifteen feet from
the crumpled wings and fuselage,
while the broken propellers and radia-
tor lay in another direction. How the
lieutenant escaped being crushed to
death is hard to figure out. At that
he was knocked unconscious and was
in that condition for an hour and a
half. He fell at 1:15 o’clock on Mon-
day so that it was close to three
o’clock when he came to and realized
that he was still in the land of the
living, though badly battered up. He
was able, however, to release himself
from his wrecked plane and crawl out
of the cockpit. As the injured flier is
unable to talk his feelings at the time
can only be imagined, but he retained
enough presence of mind to stay with
his ship in the hope that some one
may have witnessed the crash and
come to his rescue.
In fact he stuck to his ship for
twenty-seven hours, or until four
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon, when he
realized that his rescue largely de-
pended upon himself and he decided
to make the attempt while he had
strength enough to do it. Picking out
what he considered the most likely di-
rection he started to crawl on his
hands and knees, through thick and
tangled underbrush and along rocky !
mountain slopes, and in this way he
proceeded until it became so dark he
could not see to go any further. But
he was buoyed up by the fact that he
was near enough to a public highway
to hear motor cars passing. Time and
again he called as loud as he could
with his battered mouth but got no re-
sponse, as his voice could not carry
above the noise of the cars. He lay
on the ground all night and with the
first break of day on Wednesday
morning again started his slow and
painful crawl, finally reaching the de-
tour which runs around the end of
Jack’s mountain, about three miles and
a half above Potters Mills only a few
minutes before Ralph Snyder and
Russell Sweetwood came along in
their car on their way to work on the
state highway. The lieutenant had
crawled between two and three miles,
and it took him five hours and a half
to do it.
Stopping their car they picked up
the injured flier and putting him in
the car brought him to the Centre
County hospital. They had not heard
of Lieut. Bettis being lost and
thought the man a mail aviator until
they reached the hospital. A physi-
cian was quickly summoned and Lieut.
Bettis’ injuries given proper atten-
tion. When brought to the hospital
his clothing was all rain-soaked but
he was fully conscious and has since
continued so.
It is a matter of interest to note
that when the lieutenant was brought
to the hospital the physician summon-
ed to attend to his injuries was Dr.
Dale, who served as an army surgeon
during the world war, being stationed
at Evacuation hospital no. 8, in
France. On Wednesday night Capt.
A. W. Smith, of Philadelphia, who is
the flight surgeon at the Sesqui-
Centennial, arrived in Bellefonte,
and went direct to the hospital
to see Lieut. Bettis. The patient was
somewhat restless during the fore part
of Wednesday night but from eleven
o’clock on to yesterday morning rested
quite well.
On Wednesday E. L. Wilhelm, Wal-
ter S. Hamline, Jacob Miller and Guy
M. Baumback, four mechanics from
the government flying field at Middle-
town, came to Bellefonte in a big
The lieutenant
army truck to remove the wrecked
plane. The plane was equipped with
two machine guns and those, as well
| as the valuable instruments, were re-
moved on Wednesday by Lieut. Smith
and brought to: the Bellefonte flying
field, while Snyder and Sweetwood,
the men who brought Lieut. Bettis to
the hospital, stood guard over the
wreckage until it was removed.
Lieut. Bettis is a native of Carson-
ville, Mich., and has been stationed at
the Sesqui in Philadelphia since May.
He was the winner of the 1925 Pulit-
zer race and was returning to Self-
ridge field to take part in a cross-
country flight. When he failed to
reach Selfridge field by Tuesday
morning two army fliers from Middle-
town were - sent here to scour the
mountains for the missing flier; and
on Tuesday evening Lieuts. Smith and
Williams returned | here from Self-
ridge field and scouted over the Seven
mountains until dark but failed to lo-
cate the wrecked plane.
As soon as Lieut. Smith was appris-
ed of the extent of Lieut. Bettis’ in-
juries on Wednesday morning, he ac-
companied Snyder and Sweetwood to
the Seven mountains to retrieve the
wrecked plane.
LIEUT. BETTIS TAKEN TO WALTER L
REED HOSPITAL, WASHINGTON,
BY PLANE YESTERDAY.
In order that he may have the best
possible care Lieut. Bettis was taken
to the Walter I. Reed hospital, in
Washington, yesterday. A big trans-
port plane, of the Douglas Cl type,
converted into a hospital ship, was
sent here from Bolling field, reaching
here shortly before ten o’clock in the
morning. It was in charge of pilot
Ira Eaker. Bettis was swung in a
hammock to the top of the passenger
department, the plane leaving the
Bellefonte field at just exactly 12.42
o'clock. Capt. E. W. Smith, flight
surgeon at the Sesqui grounds, in
Philadelphia, had charge of the injur-
ed lieutenant on the trip to Washing-
ton.

Four Hecla Park Young Men Injured
in Auto Accident.
Melvin Miller, of Hecla park, suf-
fered a fractured skull and badly lac-
erated knee in an auto accident in
Lock Haven, on Monday night, and
three companions were also more or
less injured. Malcolm Clevenstine
sustained cuts on the head and face,
Harold Levan a big bruise on the left
side of his face and Alvin Stump a
bad cut on the left leg.
Miller is the junior member of the
Hecla Milling company which oper-
ates the old mill at Hecla ‘park. On
Monday a part of the mill machinery
broke and he decided to go to Muncy
and get the necessary part from an
old mill there, taking with him the
three other young men as companions
on the trip. On the return trip the
party ran into a heavy fog at Avis and
were unable to see any great distance
ahead of the car. On reaching Lock
Haven they failéd to notice the new
traffic signal at Church street and
Bellefonte avenue, running head on
into the standard.
All the young men were thrown
from the car, which was badly dam-
aged. Miller was taken to the Lock
Haven hospital for treatment, his con-
dition being regarded as serious.
