AEROPLANE FALLS IN SURF.
Charles X. Hamilton Has a Narrow Escape
at Atlantic Beach. Fla

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla, April 9.-The
sport of ballooning came near adding to
it's list of victims here to-day when Charles
X. Hamilton Of New York, who flew across
North River last summer, almost met death
in his huge Ludlow aeroplane.
As a preliminary to the Atlantio-Pablo
Beach automobile races Mr.. Hamilton
decided to utilize the facilities Of the beach
to try out some new ideas which were in
co~rporated in the latest Ludlow aeroplane.
The ship was all ready for trial at S o'clock,
and two powerful automobiles were engaged
to tow him with the aid Of a long rope.
When the word go was given the airship
rose gracefully and soon attained a height
of 200 feet.
A strong wind caught the %aeroplane
and carried it out to sea, but a merciful
gust turned it inland. Suddenly the aero
plane turned completely and crashed into
the surf, but Hamilton landed on his feet.
He walked ashore declaring Il will show
you something better on Wednesday, when
l will remedy the defect which l found out
in this ~aeroplane to-day

from erysipelas.
DR.. w. F. Harper Of New York, who has
