Ing direct to the civilian and even II
there were the Government would not

Fight Fire Despite Danger.

Despite the danger Of explosion every
man in the hangar stayed inside to fight
the fire. ExtInguishers seized from
every hook gushed out their smothering
contents. but nothing could stop the
burning OF the flaming wing. The flames
jumped also to the big tail OF the NC-4.
but here the sailors held the fire and
finally extinguished it,
hard and dangerous battle was
fought to save the remainder Of the
NC-l. II was so successful that the
right epgine. Of the plane. was not dam
aged and the remainder OF the plane
was untouched. Twenty minutes after
b. the first red glare at 1850 A. NJ the
mechanics were busy detaching the
charred wing of the NC-l IN an effort
to get her in shape for the flight this
morning. II was a task which lasted
all yesterday and last night. 1t is po.-
sible that the NC-l will be ready 10
start this morning with the others.

Rush to Prevent n Fire.

The boom of the hollow tank as the
carting plane smashed nose downward
into It's iron surface resounded through
out the station. and only a few seconds
tater the long wall OF the fire siren an
swered. Running men from every side
came swishlng through the sand toward
the gas tank.
The first man up the metal ladder
shouted down for fire extinguisher, al
though no blaze could be seen from the
ground. The hand fire engine and the
automobile fire truck dashed up, but de-
spite the prompt action "Hughey" Adams
and his companion were beyond help.
They were crushed beyond description,
and the plane of course was a total
wreck.
bugle shrilled Secure" the men
tramped obediently away. two stretchers
wrapped In canvas were lowered over
the edge of the tank-the incident was
over and the work of the station pro-
ceeded.
Ensign Adams entered the service as
landsman for Quartermaster in the
aviation section Of the navy on July II,
1917, and received commission in June
last. He and Corey. who enlisted in
April 1917. three days after the United
States declared war, had often taken
flights together in the scout seaplane.
A spark from an electric motor which
was pumping gasolene into the tanks Of
the NC-1 fell on few drops OF gasolene
on top OF a drum of fuel. causing the
fire which burned UP the right wings of
the flying boat, the veteran OF the NC
feet of four. and in the opinion OF many
officers the best OF the lot. Sailors who
were filling the tanks instantly started
pushing the drum of gas from the highly
iniammable dope or stiffening cover
Ing the fabric Of the wing. Their rapid
action overturned the drum or barrel.
and the hose leading from it to the
tanks became uncoupled, gasolene
gushed on the concrete floor and in an
instant the flames flashed along the
great wing.

slipped downward more perceptibly. and
the machine fell into spinning nose

In the plane facing directly downward,
and the tail revolving wildly in a larger
circle, lasted but n second OF two. Then
eight minutes after leaving the water
the plane crashed on the iron top of a
huge hydrogen tank which supplies the
naval dirigible.
No aviator could have brought the
plane out OF the dive at that low alti-
tude. In spinning downward the plane
by a queer chance cleared the circle OF
iron framework which rose to a height
of fifty feet above the empty tank. The
fact that the tank happened to contain
none of the highly infiammable and ex-
plosive gas prevented an explosion which
would probably have destroyed the great
dirigible in its nearby hangar.
