CampDeu, VINO IN bne past mas
minimized the hazards of a high
speed run, today continued to talk
Of the horrors of the run that saw
him smash his own record by better
than eighteen miles an hour.
Car Left Ground
You'll never know how bloody
dreadful it was" ne said as he SUM-
ned himself on the hotel porch. 1T
was the worst ride a man ever took.
One minute heading straight into
the dunes and crowd, and the next
riding straight into the sea. And
all the time the car humping and
bucking like something mad.
MY men tell me that they traced
my tracks after the bloody business
was over and found at least four
places where old Bluebird literally
jumped off the ground and sailed
through space. But the old girl
stood it, didn't she? And didn't
she run magnificently! If 1 hadn't
known she wouldn't fail me, no mat
ter how rough the going, I don't
know if I would have made that
return trip"
Was there time during the run
when he thought death was immi-
nent?
Believed Death Near
Definitely, yes. Did you see me
just after I passed the measured
mile on the first run? That was the
time, by Harry, when I shot blindly
out of a patch of mist and found
myself scant 10 feet from the flags
along the waters edge and shooting
straight toward the surf. There
wasn't but one thing to do, so
hooked her over. And in hooking
her over shot straight toward the
dunes. So there l was, my goggles
bouncing up and down over my eyes
my nose and mouth choked with
sand and burning fumes, heading
at a speed of 1876 yards per second
toward the soft sand which would
kill me like that. 1t was a damn
ably nasty moment. But somehow
I got out of it"
Campbell's tires bore mute testi-
mony to the wildness of that ride
Wednesday. We inspected them in
the garage today, and they looked
as if some one had shot them will
full load of buckShot. There
wasn't whole spot on the entire
running surface and in many places
whole chunks of rubber had been
ripped off.
May Try in 1884
Campbell expressed the opinion
that the unfavorable weather and
poor visibility cost him at least a
full second. If this is true, he would
have made the almost unbelievable
time of 300 miles over a perfect
beach.
We asked Campbell, now in his
forty-eighth year. if he would make
another try in 1884
Il would like nothing better" he
answered. And I think old Blue
bird would like another chance-a
chance to show what she can do
when conditions are right"

THE obvious need of the local
fishermen for some sort Of assist

in the lifting of seining restrictions
