Observer Reed was among those who
saw the aircraft take the downward
and fatal plunge.
Seeing that something was the mat
ter. the observer took If upon himself
to give warning, and he informed boat
men along he water front.
THE MACHINE A WRECK.
The machine itself was a total wreck
so far as those on the scene could de-
termine. 1t appeared to have turned
completely over, and small pieces were
Uttered over the water. showing that
the force It struck the surface must
have been very great. The craft was
taken in tow by an attending launch
and was started to the naval station.
Soon this launch was Joined by boats
from the several naval vessels, but it
was dark before the wrecked plane
reached the navy yard. The steamer
Simpson, from the city, went to the
scene as soon as it was known that
an accident had occurred and stood
ready to render assistance. but the tug
was not needed, as orders We're given
to tow he wrecked aeroplane to the
navy yard and attending launches were
given a line and the slow trip started.
The naval station was reached after
dark.
In the meantime the body Of the dead
aviator bad been picked up, and a fast
boat from the Mississippi rushed the
body to the yard. Small bits of the
machine foated about the surface of
the water, and souvenir hunters
snatched any Of these pieces eagerly
when several launches, which had been
to the scene, reached the docks on the
return trip. Much excitement pre-
vailed soon after the plane was seen
to fall. and among the eager ones were
many marines who were ashore. and

the motor boats which had gone out
from the city, but none of them would
come near him. Finally Lieut. Peek
arrived in his boat and took the wreck
age in .ow. As soon as 1t was moved
the body OF Lieut.. Murray rose TO the
surface. 1t had been held beneath the
water by the wreckage and IL is posi-
BILE that IL assistance had arrived and
the wreck moved soon enough his life
could have been saved.
HELD CERTIFICATE NO. 10.
Lieut.. Murray was licensed aviator.
He held certificate No. IS, but had no
superstitions regarding he unlucky
number He entered the aeronautical
branch of the service in December of
1872 and was known as conserva-
tive and careful aviator and one to
whom no accidents had ever occurred.
He had never broken any speed or al
titude records, and in fact had never
tried for any. but on the other hand
was content to master the craft and
was never known TO take any danger
Gus chances.
The deceased was so years OF age
and came here about a month ago
on the battleship Mississippi with
DlneT members or the aviation COEpS.
During lis short stay at the navy yard
he made many friends and his Sid
den death was a shock to these friends
in the city as well as his brother dfT1-
GERS at the aeronautical station. His
home was in Thomas. Pa, and his
feather, Geo. r. Murray, vas notified
last night by Lieut. Muslin, command
ing the station.
SECOND NAVY ACCIDENT.
This was the second fatal accident
in the navy since aeronautics were un-
dertaken. The army branch of the
service has been more unlnclSy, num-
Der OF ayiators being killed, but in the
navy the percentage has been much
smaller.
The first accident was last year in
Chesapeake, bay. when Lieut.. Billings
ley and Lieut.. JAG. Towers fell dis
lance Of 1000 feet. The former was
killed when he jumped from the ma
chine, but Lieut.. Towers, who is now
among the aviators at Pensacola, stuck
10 the machine and escaped death.

one.

right and made toward belt of
trees.
