moth airship on its trip in Berx-
eley, rose 300 feet from the earth, In
view of 10 900 spectators, tilted, burst
and dropped to the ground with It's
crew of sixteen men, every one Of
whom was injured. With the possi-
BILE exception Of one, all will recov-
er. Several were severely hurt, while
nine were cut and bruised.
l.. c. Rogers, engineer, whose
right lew was fractured, and who was
right leg was fractured, and who was
injured internally, may die.
The airship rose slowly from tAe
earth. The five gasoline engines,
suspended beneath the long gas recep-
table at intervals of about so feet,
each attended by an engineer, were
not put in operation until the airsnip
was well up in the air. Then two OF
the engines slowly set in motion the
the long propellers reaching out
from them on each side OF the ship.
Before the ship could be propelled
further than few feet, the forward
end tilted downward until the craft
stood at an angle of about As degrees,
nose downward.
The members of the crew were ap-
parently unable to run along the can.
vas pathway in order to equalize the
weight and to right the airship, and
they clung desperately to the netting
and superstructure. The rush Of gas
to the stern of the long gas bag caus-
ed the envelope to burst with loud
ripsing noise The release OF a great
quantity Of gas caused the airship to
settle toward the earth. Some of the
crew lost their heads before the snip
could alight, and jumped, suffering
broken limbs or severe bruises.
Nearing the earth, the ship lost gas
more rapidly and the overweighted
remnant of gas was borne to earth
rapidly with great force. Morrell, the
inventor Of the craft, and several OF
the engineers were caught in the
understructure and injured by the en-.
gines
