attempted to right it without success.

on the return trip shortly after 10
o'clock. Had there been daylight, no
doubt it would have been possible to
glide the plane to safe landing.
After his attempts to start the engine
had failed, his first idea was to glide
the plane away from the city, so that
no one would be hurt by the landing.
When the engine stopped, the alti-
meter showed 5000 feet. Apparently
more open country was reached with
loss of altitude to $500 feet. Lieut..
Macready then tried to operate the

ped, but, though he jerked the re-
lease with all his strength and looked
below, there was no sign OF lights.
Nothing could be distinguish on the
ground The following is an abstract
from Lieut.. Macready's own account
Of his jump:
THE belt was unbuckled and the
pilot stood up in the cockpit to see
that he was free, then sat down and
waited for the interval of time while
the plane was gliding 1000 feet. The
fiashlight was found and put in the
pilot'A pocket: then the pilot rose in
the cockpit to test out his ability to
control the plane while standing, and
then lifted one leg over the side of the
plane. 1t was found that the seat
pack caused interference in getting
the second leg over the side, and II
was necessary again to return to the
sitting posture and on the second trial
lift the seat pack over the back and
side of the plane before the other leg
could be lifted out of the cockpit.
while he was getting out OF the
cockpit the plane was guided with the
right hand on the stick, and an at
tempt was still made to guide the
plane after the pilot had climbed out
onto the wing, but while getting the
second leg over the side the body had
to lean very much forward, and the
nose of the plane dropped into dive.
The pilot made an attempt to pull the
nose up into a stallng position while
clinging TO the wires. so that he might
leave the plane without too much
speed, but the pull was too great.

voice as possible, to get out quickly,
that the ship was falling. The motor
was cut off and Pvt. Goggin had no
difficulty in hearing what I said.
He loosened his belt and suddenly
jumped straight up, his head striking
the trailing edge of the center section
with considerable force, knocking him
back into the seat. I thought, He
will never get out that way and
shouted for him to climb out. During
this time kept glancing at the ground
to see If we had still sufficient altitude
to make the jump as we were falling
with terrific speed. I also wondered
whether we would know when we hit
the ground. Goggin put his foot upon
the fuselage and grasped the trailing
edge of the left wing with his left hand
and held on in this position until I
shouted several times for him to jump.
He stated later that I pushed him
from the plane. but / do not remember

The few fatalities caused by the use
of the parachutes were traced to lack
of care and foresight. A record of 400
drops with -parachutes shows four ia
talities, due to failure of the para
chutes to open or to burning planes
falling upon them. Nowadays men
train six months before packing the
intricate chutes. At Boiling Field a
small one-roomed temporary building
has been erected for use in packing. !!
1t stands about 80 feet high in one
section, so as to permit the hanging
of the chutes for the required "a |
hours drying of the skirts every 80 |
days. The other section of the build. |
ing has a ceiling almost half the |
height, with long, narrow table for |
the repacking. Pictures Of parachutes |
and jumps line the wall, indicating |
the interest of the riggers who work !
