AlRSHIP GOES TO SMASH
WRIGHT BROS. MACHINE HAD
BROKEN WORLDS RECORD.
Operator Pulled the Wrong Lever and
the Machine Plunged to
the Earth.

Manteo, N. c., May 15.-sAfter the
greatest OF airship flights Thursday
afternoon the machine OF Wilbur and
OTyille Wright was smashed into an
unrecognizable mass. The navigator
Of the machine, Wilbur Wright, escap-
ed from the accident practically I'M
hurt, having received nothing more
than mere scratch on his face.
The machine had already flown
eight miles in z minutes and 40 sec
onds under beautiful control. The
wrecking of it was due to an error on
the part Of the navigator proceeding
slightly in downward course 1t was
designed by the navigator to elevate
it's course, but instead OF working the
lever to accomplish that result he
worked IT so as to direct the course
of the machine still further downward
Responding instantly to the influence
OF the lever, the machine dove down
ward and to the ground with great
rapidity. AS strongly as it was put
together, it was crushed like an egg
shell. Wilbur Wright's luck, which
has stood by him ever since he has
commenced his accents in the air, was
still with him. The machine was
wrecked behind a sand hill two miles
from the point from which It was
started.
