N0CQUET PREPARED FOR
DEATH BEFORE STARTING
AERoNAuT LEAVES LETTER TO
HIS FRIENDS
Wills All Property to His Mother.
Cries for Help Distinctly Heard
by Residents of Long lsIand-Head
of Body Toward Ocean

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April Paul Nocuuet,
tine young aeronaut who died ON a Long
Island beach where he was lost and
exhausted after an apparently safe
landing in his balloon Tuesday night,
made preparations for death before
starting on his last voyage. \ letter
was found in a pocket Of his clothing
today giving complete directions as to
the disposition to be made of his prop
crtv in case he should be- found dead.
The letter gave the names Ct his
friends in this country. of his re'ativCs
IN Europe and spoke of his mother in
Belgium IN endearing terms. L pro-
vlded also that all property Of which
he was possessed at the time o. his
death should go to his mother.
1t was suggested today that NoCquet
might have fallen from his balloon to
the tiny island where his body was
round. instead of making his way there
in an effort to reach Amityville. as
generally supposed. one of the men
who found the body says that he heard
cries for help at 1915 o'clock Tuesday
night. 1t was 10 o'clock when the bal
loon was found and Nocquet could not
have gone mile and three-quarters
through marshes and creeks in fifteen
minutes.
The body lay with the head toward
the ocean.
1t was later decided to hold an in
quest on Nocquets death today, and
not to perform an autopsy on his body:
A verdict of death from exposure and
exhaustion was returned by the coroner
of Amityvlle. the village toward which
the aerouanut was making his way
when he died.
\ coroner's investigation into the
tragic death of Nocquet viii be made
tomorrow. To determine the exact
cause Of his death an autopsy will be
held. 1t is believed Nocquet died from
heart failure, following complete phys
ical exhaustion and the mental an
guish he must have felt when he be-
lieNed he was being carried to sea.
