When the pier broke down after the

for three months, and then placed in
a dry room for a little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under

fall was so great that the machine
and its daring pilot were buried In
the mud of the bay in 40 feet OF water.
He struck the water near the United
States army transport docks in mar
row patch of water between two trans.
ports swinging at anchor.
Immediately a rescue crew was
dispatched from the battleship Ore
gon, which was lying in the stream.
After " o hours the machine and body
were dag from the mud by diver

was found entangled in the wires of
the wrecked machine and all OF the
