 May Try in 1881
 We are temporarily down. but not out" Mears said. We will try again. If not this year, in 1931."
 The plane did not catch fire and this probably saved the lives of the fliers and their dog mascot "Tailwind II, which scampered away after the wreck. Mears said he did not blame Brown, who had insisted on an early takeoff, for the accident.
 The accident came after what seemed a perfect start After leaV- ing the smooth path that stretched out from the airport, the plane struck the side of the runway, careened along the brush on the side and turned over.
 Wreck Shipped Home
