{that time weather bureau officials
at the field report that there was an

(had flown through, or whatever the

finally tearing off the wings and the
| disabled ship hurtled to the ground
‘against the trunks of three small
trees. The motor was wrenched
from its fastenings and came to rest
some ten or twelve feet away. The
gasoline tank was crushed and the
‘liquid fuel burst into flames immedi-
‘ately.
Employees at the field were on
{watch for the plane and saw the
ilight of the burning ship but be-
{lieved it to be flares the pilot had

ever, a call from the Millheim ex-

formation that a young school teach-
er of that place, who had been up
the valley on a motor trip, had re-

saw the flare of a bright light.
