The following account is Civ
en- bv the Columbia State of an
attempt by Howard M. Rine-
hart to fly from Auguta. Ga. to
New York Saturday:
Howard M. Rinehart, a Wright
aviator, left Augusta early yes
terdav morning.for New York,
and though his machine was
smashed, and he was forced to
abandon it, he has the distlnc-
ton of being the first person to
fly from border to border across
the State of South Carolina. A
sprocket chain of the propeller
broke when Mr.. Rinehart was
aSout four miles from Rowland,
N. c., travelling about 5000 feet
in the air. He glided and land
ed in newly plowed field. MIR.
Rinehart did not jump, but was
riding on wing when the ma
chine landed. He was thrown
off and his head buried in the
sand. He was not injured and
after shipping the remnants of
the biplane tc Dayton, Ohio,
came to Columbia.
II was just going to New York
through the air for the pleasure
and to save a little railroads fare"
said Mr.. Rinehart in his room at
a hotel here last night, "and
now," he added, II will pay both
railroad fare and railroad
freight"
Heavy clouds, the most beau
tiful Mr.. Rinehart says he has
seen, hung over South Carolina
early yesterday morning, and
these clouds caused Mr.. Rine-
hart to deviate from his propos.
ed route. He left Augusta at
$40 O'Clock and had perfect sail
ing and ideal weather conditions
until he reached Aiken. where
he ran into the clouds or fog
and did not see land again until
after he had passed Columbia.

swamp.
The aviator guided the ma
chine into small enclosure and
crawled out upon one of the
wings when within 80 feet of the
ground. The heavy engine
plowed its way through the film
Sy aluminium seat.
Falling from such a great
height the aircraft buried its
nose in the soft sand and turned
almost a complete somersault.
Its wings and rudder were a
mass of twisted wire and splin
tered wood while the fuel tank
was rent from stem to stern and
the ground was saturated with
gasoline for radius of several
