Souvenir Seekers Busy.
AS soon as the aviator and his
injured passenger left the beach
hundreds of curio seekers started
to strip the machine. Simmons
when informed of what was taking
place hired several men to tow the
broken machine to shore and call a
halt on the souvenir seekers. The
engine was taken back to Seidler' s
yesterday morning.
Simmons and his passenger left

machine is a total wreck according
to the pilot, but 1t Is probable that
the engine will again be used. A

aviator says when more power Is OBJ
tainable then he can rise in dead

the one occurring saturday.
Members of the Raritan Yacht
Club of this city when informed of
the accident were much grieved as
Mr.. Simmons was expected to make
flights off the club house later during
the afternoon.
Circulars Are Dropped.
AS Mr.. Simmons was flying over
the boardwalk prior to the accident,
he dropped several circulars, which
bore the following:
"While we are heartily in SYM

movement, we believe 1t will result
in the election of our governor,
Woodrow Wilson, as president.

stood aghast expecting to see the
men dashed to death on the shore by
hitting one of the fleet Of boats near

to swerve the craft and right it. His
efforts were futile and the aeroplane
landed sideways in four feet of water.
Buried Under Machine.
Hubbard, a garage man, of Red
Bank, who was Simmons passenger,
slid from the seat in the descent and
was buried under the broken craft
and heavy engine. Simmons also slid
from his place, but presence of mind
saved him from falling into the
water. He grabbed guide rope and
held onto the machine. AS soon as
the plane hit the water, Simmons
feared for the life of his passenger.
