PICTORIAL RECORD
OF TRANSATLANTIC
FLIGHT PERFECTED

New York. June 27.-One of the unique
and interesting features of the navys
recent trans Atlantic flight is the COM
pilation for the historical archives of
the navy department of a complete pic
toraI record of the flight, including
drawings. sketches. photographs, motion
pictures and oil paintings. This record
Will show the construction and trace the
development of the NC type of planes in
which the flight was made besides de-
picting actual scenes of the preparations
for the flight and it's progress across the
ocean.
Navy photographers photographed every
interesting phase of the preparations ana
the trial flights at Rockaway Beach.
Later. when the course had been select
ed. other photographers We're sent TO
Halifax, n. s.. Trepassy, N. F.: Ponta
DeIgada, Azores; Lisbon, Portugal, and
Plymouth, England where landing sta
tio1s and bases had been established.
Several thousand feet of motion picture
film and several hundred photographs
were taken at these stations and from
these a careful selection will. be made
for the departments permanent pictorai

The task of making a pictorial record
on canvass was entrusted to Lieutenant
@ Z. Ruttan. q. s. N, OF New York
who was designated BY the navy depart
ment as the official artist for the flight.
he was temporarily assigned to the u &
repair ship for the seaplanes at Ponta
Delgada, Lieutenant Ruttan. who is a
qualified pilot, brought to the work long
and valuable experience obtained in
painting naval aviation pictures. on the
western front.
During the three weeks the Melville
was stationed at Ponta Delgada Lie,i-
tenant Ruttan made nearly a dozen
sketches in oil, illustrating the most m
terestfng and exciting scenes OF the
flight One sketch shows the arrival of
the NC-4 at Ponta Delgada with cheer
ing crowds lining the beach and all shi1,s
in the harbor outlined in bunting and
flags Another shows the arrival of the

Aviators Are Pinned Be
Meath Wreck But Extrl-
cate Themselves Before
Speed Boats Arrive.
THREE OCCUPANTS OF
PLANE boston MEN
To Remarkable Presence of
Mind Aviators Owe Their
Escape With But Slight
Injuries.

A flying boat from the Naval
Air Station crashed into Pensa-
cola Bay at about IL o'clock yes
terday morning and was COM
pletely wrecked. Ensigns j. w.
Iseman, George Hines and T. E.
Murphy, all of whom are said
to be from Boston, were in the
machine, and had what is re-
garded as a truly marvellous
escape, their only injuries con-
sisting of slight cuts and bruises.
The plane is understood to
have become unmanageable
from some reason over which
the pilot had no control, at a
comparatively high altitude.
Iseman and Murphy were pinned
under the water beneath the
wreck, but by their own pres
ence of mind, managed to extri-
cate themselves before the speed
boats were able to reach the
scene.
To those who have witnessed the
extraordinary precautions taken at the
station to render instant relief to filters
who fall, the feat of Iseman and Muir
ply is all the more remarkable.
1t is understood that shortly preced-
ing this accident, another plane of the
same type was wrecked by striking a
dock, but that no one was injured.

MEETS DEATH;
PISTOL duel
w. p. Cox, Subordinate Po-
lice Officer At Ship Plant,
Under Penton Held for
Shooting.

A few heated words, followed in
quick succession by three pistol shots,
marked the abrupt ending of an inti-
mate friendship that had been known
to exist between Frank Penton, police
chief at the plant of the Pensacola
Shipbuilding company. and w p Cox,
subordinate officer. yesterday morn
ing, about II o'clock. Two of the
shots. said to have been fired by Pen
ton, missed their aim, but the third
alleged to have been fired by Cox
penetrated Penton's head and he died
almost instantly. The ball passed
clear through, from temple to temple.
The men had occupied a room to-
gether. just inside the yards where the
shooting occurred, for the past several
DAYS since the separation of Mr. Cox
and his wife, who had lived at the
house at the time Mr.. Penton was
taken in as a boarder. Mrs Cox had
since lived at the Merchants hotel
She worked at the ship plant cafeteria

the friendship of both and only yester-
day morning he and Mr.. Cox are un-
derstood to have had breakfast to-

There were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy, the shooting having occurred
inside the small house, but others
were. within few seconds. on the
scene and from the most definite in
formation obtainable which is in cor
roboration with a statement made by
Mr.. Cox, Mr.. Penton struck Cox first
with his fist or open hand, the latter
falling partially to the floor. The
same thing was repeated and as Cox
started to rise the second time he is
said to have drawn his gun, at which
time Penton fired twice. both bullets
passing just under the left armpit OF
Cox in close, proximity, evidence of
which was shown by powder burns.
Cox is said to have fired one shot as
he came up the second time, the ball
taking effect with the resulted stated.
Upon examination of the pistols of the
two men, it was found that there were
two empty chambers in Penton's re-
volver and one in Cox's.
Coroner Hearing Today.
Mr.. Cox surrendered himself i'm
