WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Under weather
conditions which were regarded as perfect
the Langley airship or aeroplane to-day was
given a second trial short distance from
Washington down the Potomac, the result
being the complete wreck Of the airship.
Everything had been in readiness for the
trial for some days, so that IL was felt all
that was needed for the airship was the
right sort of wind and weather. This aft
ernoon these conditions presented them
selves and the test was made under aus
picious conditions. On the word being
given to launch the aeroplane II glided

until the end Of the tramway was reached
when, on being left to itself, the aeroplane

was operating IL, into the icy water beneath
the tangled mass. A number OF launches
containing newspaper men and others i'm
mediately steered for the spot, but before
they could reach Professor Manly one OF
his assistants leaped overheard and brought
him aboard the houseboat on which the
launching tramway was laid. Professor
Langley was present to witness the test and
appeared crestfallen when he saw the
product of months of study and labor, COM
bned with an enormous expenditure OF
money, disappear beneath the water close
TO where he was standing.
When Professor Manly appeared aboard
the houseboat early this morning he saw
that the most favorable opportunity for
making the second test was at hand and
he Immediately set about giving directions
to prepare the ship for its fight. He also
summoned Professor Langley and other
Smithsonian experts, as well az number
of officers of the army, all OF whom were
most interested spectators, some being
aboard the houseboat, while others occu-
pied the deck OF the new sectional boat
Pontonier which had run down to see the
flight. Out in the stream were also NUM-
Der of launches and sailing crafts.
1t required five hours to assemble the
various parts OF the machine. At 40
O'Clock in the afternoon, when all wat
ready and with darkness fast approaching,
Professor Langley called his chief assist
ant Mr. Manly, aside and gave him his
last instructions. The latter then donned
his life jacket and entered the car. After
a few moments he set the machinery In
motion and the propellers rapidly revolved.
Then he gave the signal and an instant
later there was a crash, the after part OF
the ship fell upon the deck OF the house,

Professor Manly was seated. was seen to
rise slightly, then turn completely over and
drop into the water a few feet away with
