Miller, 4 velope- during a windstorm, he said. A board of inquiry was (appointed by Major Royce, commander of Brook9 Field to investigate the accident The ship which Major Strauss said was valued approximately at 0,000, originally cost the government $270,000. The seven men lncludJig five army officers and two newspaper men who were injured in the accident were reported to be not seriously injured, four of them suffered broken bones in jumping from the carriage of the ba-loon after it had struck the end of giant concrete hanger at whlsch was built origintaCly to house the Roma which blew up over Hamp ton Roads February 21, 1922.

The C-2 was preparing to make a flight over the cfty of Sari Antonio primarily for the benefit of 4 newspaper reporters and eight army offi cers of the 8th corps headquarters at Fort Sam Houston. It had just been pulled out of the hanger about half way when a strong wind estimated by Major Strauss at not more than 15 miles "velocity swung the ship around. "A etrong- puff came dragging the ship-along the CTound." Major Strauss said in a statement regarding the accident ordered the ship back in the hanger. Just as we started Kinother gust came and the fabric to which the windward hanging guy was attached tore loose, Another handling guy broke under the sudden pressure and third hand ling guy releasing the bag nd permitting it to swing leevard into the concrete structure at the face the hanger door, The bag was torn. When bag cataie loose the car broke in two places, thirty seconds after the car broke the hydrogen in the envelop fire due to the hole and rapid influx of air.

When this occurred all persons on board were cleared of the ship and injuries were caused by dropping off the car just after it had lodged on the concrete structure" at the hanger door. "The ship had been in perfect condition for the continuation of the transcontinental flight and the cross wind was not of such velocity as to eaiuseany trouble in handling. "Thia incident; which has resulted so disastrously for the C-2 itself is due primarily to the pulling' out of the fabric of the envelope. If this had not occured the dhip undoubtedly would have been manuvered -safely back-fnto- its hangings. 29 LOST WHEN DUTCH STEAMER GOESTO BOTTOM By th Assxfatal Pr Stockholm, Oct 17.
