Artificial fire extinguishers were
rushed from Apache Lodge and the
Roosevelt dam power house, as it was
impossible for anyone to enter the
Santa Marias cabin to secure chemi-
Gals with which to combat the con-
flagration.
For moment it seemed that the
efforts of Captain Prete, Faechetti
and a number of workers connected
with the refuelling operations would
succeed and the hydroplane would be
saved
However, an open manhole on the
port side, used as an entrance to De
Pinedo's cabin, was open and once
the ensuing draft struck the flames
the entire cabin became a mass of
flames.
The crowd was instructed to stand
back because of the possibility of the

but the two motors, which less than
two hours before had piloted the

the lake when their supports were

youth whose careless tossing away of
