FALLS 70 Fl.
Graham White Had Narrow
Escape from Death.

London, Dec. 10. White,
the aviator, narrowly escaped death
when he fell seventy feet in his BIZ
plane on the cliffs near Dover. He
sustained a slight conclusion of the
brain, and his face was badly cut.
He was taken to the Lord Warden
hotel, where for awhile he was UNI
conscious. He Is better today and
probably will recover quickly.
Grahame-W White and other aviators
had their ~aeroplanes at Dover for
some time, awaiting the cessation of
the recent storms TO try for Baron de
Forests prize of $4,000 for the long
est flight including a channel crossing.
Grahame-W Whites machine alone es-
capped damage from last weeks gale.
He tool 1t out to test 1t with the view
to starting for the De Forest prize IL
the weather were suitable.
Waved Fem His Auto.
The %aeroplane assembled smoothly,
few inland and returned down ~the
wind. Suddenly 1t made a rapid turn
to the east, ~whereupon the wind twirl-
ed the machine, which crashed to the
ground.
Two doctors who happened to be In
the crowd helped the aviator from the
wreekage and gave first aid. His fore
head was deeply gashed and his nose
lacerated. He was helped into an au-
tonobile, and he waved his hand in
response to cheers. but after he was
placed in bed at the hotel he became
unconscious.
The doctors found the usual indlca-
tons of conclusion of the brain,
which, however proved to be slight,
and today the patient was able to
make arrangements for a new bfplane,
with which he hopes to capture the
Forest prize before the end of the
year.
Boy Flies Across Channel.
Previous to the accident of Grahame-
White, Sopwith, an Englishman, TWEEN
ty-two years old and almost a tyro at
started from Sheppley for the
De Forest prize. He crossed the chan

Vored by a northwest Swind, which,
however, so increased In strength later
hat 1t induced him to descend. Sop
with had no arrangement for tugs to
him across the channel, being
to take the chance Of falling
into the sea.
One of the conditions of the prize Is
the competitors must use all Brit
lsh machines. Sopwith's machine is a
