Lieut. Smith of the Photographic
detachment was the pilot in this ad-
Of photographing a shorter line of
flight over the Everglades to Fort
Meyers, and was on a flight with his
camera at the time. He had reached
an altitude of 1000 feet above the
great swamp when he observed a
storm approaching from the south and
had changed his course to the south
west in an effort to get around it.
Then finding this impossible, he had
veered to the west and attempted to

from the north. which made the ship
almost unmana geable, tossing it first
on one wing and then on the other in
a vertical position and twice putting
the ship almost completely on its
back. Nevertheless, he kept on to the
south with the sight of land obliter-
ated by the storm under him.
In his report, Lieut. Smith told of
his adventure as follows:
''The motor at this point cut out
twice and I had to put the plane in
a nose dive to clear itself, which it
did. Suddenly the ship broke through
the clouds and I saw the cypress
swamps Immediately below me. AS
the motor was still giving trouble

coast, knowing that there were shall
low water spots in these districts
where landing could be effected
with comparative safety as against
dropping into Big Cypress.

along the comparatively shallow and
open places fringing the big Cypress,
and gradually turning east till the
gas gave out. Landing was made for
ty-eight miles west of Miami and in a
line due west of the Tampa Miami
trail canal. There were no dry spots
to land on, and the ship turned over
on its back. Sergt. OConnor, my pas
senger, cut his lip and bruised his
body and both right and left shins 1
suffered only a bruised body. Realiz-
ing that nothing could be done with
the ship and that it was impossible to
