4:3e D. m. yesterday. The time OF
the wreck is placed at s:eS p m.,
the hour at which a watch carried
by Mr.. Connolly was found to have
stopped. Naval officers at Indian
Head who saw the plane 20 down,

his machine down before the full
force of the storm struck, but that
he was prevented from making a
landing at the first attempt by a
grove OF trees. The airship crossed
over the trees safely and appeared

field a short distance away.
The Motor Failed.
Apparently the motor failed to re-
spond or the high wind checked the
ships speed for il was seen to turn

only a few hundred feet in the air.
Officers at Indian Head sent de-
tachment TO the scene. but il was
some time before they arrived and
word OF the accident did not reach
Boiling field here until eleven o'clock
that night.
Officers at the field had been wait
ing the arrival of the Eagle. but when
she failed TO arrive early in the eve
ming they assumed that she either
had landed somewhere to escape the
storm or had turned back TO Lang
ley field. Mrs. Ames. wife of the
pilot. was waiting for her husband at
the landing field here and when the
report of the accident came she start
ed for Morgantown In her automo-
bile. arriving after midnight and re-
naming there through the night.
The bodies of the dead were taken
out of the plane by the naval de-
tachment and early today were start
ed to Washington on navy motor
trucks. Meantime officers in charge
of the army ambulance had been
sent from this city and the bodies
were transferred to them and carried
to Walter Reed hospital here. The

were killed in the wreck OF an army
Curtiss Eagle ambulance airplane
near Indian Head. Nd. forty miles
southeast OF Washington. yesterday
evening in terrific wind and cleo
trical storm.
Army air service officers said the
accident was the worst in the history
of aviation in the United States. eth
er military or civil. and that Il was
one OF the few in which all of the
passengers in a falling plane had
been killed almost instantly.
The ship struck the ground nose
first and the force of impact was so
great that the big i00 horse power
liberty motor in the front end OF the
craft was torn from its chassis and
thrown back into the cockpit on top
OF the pilot and the passengers. All
of the bodies were badly mutilated.
Returning from Langley Field.
The Curtiss Eagle was returning
from a "trip to Langley field near
Newport News. Va, and had Just
crossed the Potomac river when II
ran into the storm which had passed
over Washington an hour before. The
exact cause of the accident probably
never will be known as those in the
machine were dead when witnesses
from Margantown. a village near IN
dian Head, reached the scene.
CAPTAIN De Lavergne. air attache
of the French embassy. who made the
trip in the Eagle from Washington.
said tonight that in his opinion the
Eagle was unbalanced.

who went to Langley field In the
Eagle. also returned TO WASHINGTON
by boat. Mr.. Campbell said tonight
that the element of safety had not
entered into their decision not to re-
turn In the Eagle. that both OF them
were seasick. and the air in the
closed plane was bad.
'If the ship had been open we
would have returned in Y, said Mr.
Campbell. IL suggested to walsh
that we return by boat. He was sea-
sick. and | didn't feel very STEADY.
We had been more than two hours
al sea in a Martin bomber observing
bombing experiments.
Wonderfully Good Pilot.
"on the way down to Langley field
the air was rough and very bunny
We had a wonderfully good pilot. HE
would run into an air bank like IT
was hillside. and then the machine
would drop: sometimes more than a
hundred feet"
Brigadier General Mitchell, assis-
tan chief of the army air service,
who accompanied the Eagle to Lang
ley field. and who had the exciting
battle with the storm during his re-
turn fight, said Lieutenant Ames,
plotting the Eagle. was regarded as
one of the best pilots in the service
and that his ship was apparently In
perfect condition.

ty." said the general. and when the
Eagle eircled over the field a couple
of times before STRENGTHENING out on
the northerly course for Washington
il was running perfectly. We waved
goodbye from the field. expecting
that the big ship would be in Wash
