was badly crushed by the engine. lie
lived but a few minutes.
Rodgers during the past week, has
been making daily flights here. ami
had taken many passengers. both men

occasions. Today he started from

and dipped close 20 the roller coaster
In beach amusement park.

dved down into them scattering the
sea fowl in all directions. He then
flew further out 10 sea, gradually ris-
inc until he reached a height Of two
hundred feet. Making a short turn.
he started at full speed for the pier.
At this iuncture the planes suddenly
dipped and the machine began a
iri.htful descent.
Rodgers was seen by hundreds on
the pier to relax his hold, then make
an effort to pull the nose Of his ma
chine into a level position. Failing
in this, he managed to turn the craft
farther In TO shore. and instantly the
/, machine dashed into the edge Of the
