TUMBLE TODEATH
STOPS WORLD FLIGHT
Capt. Sir Ross Smith Falls
Thousand Feet in Special
Amphibi0n.N
BROTHER WITNESSES END
Was Making Tests of Vickers
Plane That Was to En-
circle Globe.

Special Cable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, April 13.
Falling in spinning nose dive for a
thousand feet in his first test of the
Vickers amphibion plane with which he
and his brother had intended to make a
flight around the world. Capt. Sir Ross
Smith. Australian aviator, was instantly
killed at Brooklands to-day. Lieut.. j.
Bennett. Capt. Smiths mechanician and
the only passenger, died while he was
being disentangled from the wreckage.
Capt. Smiths brother, Sir Keith
Smith. had intende dto accompany him
cn the trial flight. but arrived too late
and was one of the witnesses of the acci-
dent.
The fatal accident came as a tremen-
dous shock to air circles, and the Eng
lish public generally, as Sir Ross Smith
was looked on as one of the foremost
aviation heroes in Great Britain, as with
bis brother he had made the first flight
from England to Australia, 1850 miles,
for which they both were knighted. Like
Capt Alcock, first to fly across the At
lantic, Capt. Smith met death in a
flight which was of the most ordinary
nature. Sir Ross Smith desired TO make
a test of his round the world flyer. which
already had been through severe try
out this morning. After fifteen minutes
CT successful flight the spectators
thought that Capt. Ross Smith was pre-
pairing TO land when suddenly the ma
chine began to dip and plunged down
spinning. 1t crashed to the ground with
fearful force, the struts and wings torn
a nd twisted a nd the heavy engine hurled
completely free.
The theories as to what happened
disagree. Some believe that the elevat-
ing control must have broken. and argue
that Capt. Smith was too clever an air.
man to be unable to handle any ship
that would fly. Capt Cockerell of the
vickers Company. who tested the ma
chine for half an hour before it was
turned over to Capt Smith, said Ii was
then in perfect condition.
Othre airmen believe that Capt. Smith
while running without power slipped
into spin owing to the great weight OF
{ body and pontoons. and could moi
pull 0ut of ii in time. That the veteran
aviator kept his head all the way down
is proved by the fact that at the last
moment he cut off the switch and as
result there was no fire. The machine
weighed more than 1900 pounds, and
had a wing spread of fifty feet.
The aviator's brother, Sir Keith, was
prostrated with grief and was escorted
to London in charge of two physicians.
Capt Smith had carefully inspected his
airplane and had himself arranged all
the details for the world flight. which
was scheduled to begin from Croydon,
April %, even having shipped an extra
motor TO japan
