of the navigator. Beyond question, had
there been passenger on the model fly
ing machine when the plunge was taken
into the Potomac he would have been
drowned. unless the scientific gentlemen
had taken the precaution to incase him in
a diving suit. A life preserver wouldn't
have helped the situation particle. Down
under the body of the aerodrome just back
of the motor is where the navigator's car
is situated in the big machine
In such a position on the model Saturday
passenger would have had scarcely a
chance of escape in a hundred. Pinned to
the bottom of the river under a tangled
mass of canvas and machinery he could not
have been extricated until after the aero
