AERIAL NAVIGATOR
NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH IN HIS FLIGHT
Aeronaut Jack Dallas and His Arshp Encounter Winds Over
Great Salt Lake and Come to Gref-Man Is Rem
dered Unconscious Apparatus Total Wreck

After a thrilling trip over the waters
of Salt Lake III a disabled airship Jack
Dallas, the Saltair aeronaut fell twenty
feet TO sandbar on the shore of the
lake at $50 yesterday afternoon. He was
knocked unconscious by the fall. The
airship without its passenger scared high
in the air and disappeared. 1t was found
late last night six miles north OF the
Saltair railroad track by SWitchman.
Late in the afternoon shortly before
the airship was scheduled to make its as
cension. a thunder storm came up from
the southwest. Dallas asked TO be per
mitted TO make the ascension earlier than
usual on account of the approaching
storm, but il was finally decided to wait
until the o'clock train from Salt Lake
reached the beach. BY that time a storm
appeared imminent. Nevertheless Dallas
made the ascension.
Situation Is Desperate.
The airship seemed in good working
order and Dallas circled in it twice around
the Saltair pavilion. Then he attempted
to return TO the landing of the airshlp.
BY that time the storm had broken. Each
time the aeronaut tried to reach the land
ing he failed. After half a dozen un-
successful attempts TO reach the landing
Dallas turned the prov of the alrshlp
toward the shore of the lake to the east
of the pavilion.
Driven by a heavy wind the airship
went lower and lower and finally struck
the lake. The heavy water broke the
propeller and stopped the engine of the
airship. BY shifting the weight of his
body to the rear of the airship, Dallas
was able to bring the apparatus up into
the air again, but it dipped constantly,
the frame work striking the water again
and again.
Blown to Shore.
Dallas climbed up the steel skeleton OF
his machine and remained just beneath
the gas bag. Finally the wind blew the
