New York Take-off Tragedy
Narrowly Averted; Herndon
Adds Harbor Grace to Route

NEW YORK, July II G.N.S).
The projected round-the-word
flight Of Hugh Herndon and
Clyde Pangborn nearly met dis
aster today when their heavily
loaded monoplane failed to gain
altitude after leaving the ground.
Starting at 6:32 A. NJ, Wash
ington time, from Roosevelt Field
No. l, Pangborn and Herndon
piloted the huge Bellanca plane
down the mile runway. The plane,
loaded with $50 gallons of gaso-
line, refused to take the air.
Crowd Holds Breath.
At the end Of the runway the
plane shot down into a gully. The
impact with the bottom of the
gully raised the plane from the
ground. T.
A tense knot Of spectators held
their breaths as the plane wObhIed
in the air. A stream Of gasoline
flowed from the reserve tanks rs
the pilots attempted to jettisOn
the fuel to tighten their ship.
Only expert plotting of PangbOrn
saved the lives of the aviatOrS.
Jockeying the plane to keep it
in the air, Pangborn circled low
over Roosevelt Field No. 2 and
brought the ship down safely.
Plans Altered
The fliers declared they would
try again this afternoon or to-
night.
Russell Boardman and John
Polando, Boston fliers, were at
Roosevelt Field waiting for favor
able weather for the start Of a
nonstop long-distance record
flight. They did not expect to
take off until late today or this
evening. The exact destination
was not made known.
Originally the fliers planned to
fly directly from New York to
Moscow on the first leg of their
trip. After the near tragedy ac-
cident, however, Herndon said
they had altered their program
to stop at Harbor Grace, to start
over the ocean with a lighter
load.
HerndOn'S mother, ~Mrs. Dixon
BOardman, Of New York City, and
his fiancee, Miss Mary Ellen
Farley, Of Albany, N. Y, were
among the witnesses to the mar

Recognizing at once that it was

edifice, depositing the machine
in an outlying part Of the gar

the least damage.
Hardly had he notified the
Vatican authorities of the dis
