PLANE CRASHES
IN LAKE COMO
John ]. Sheridan, Pilot, Es-
capes Death As Plane
Hits Water, Sinks
HAPPENED ON TAKE-OFF

Failing to gain airspeed while
trying to take off from a muddy
runway at Huckleberry Point
John ]. Sheridan, 81, of Chester,
Pa. and owner of that airstrip
plunged his $4,000, seventy-five
horsepower Aerocoupe into the
middle of Lake Como Saturday.
The accident happened at p. m.
as the pilot was taking off for
Camden, N. ]. Sheridan, unhurt
except for abrasions of the nose
and forehead, quickly climbed out
of the plane before it sank in sew
en- feet of water. He stood on the
plane knee deep in the freezing
lake for nearly an hour while two
workers on shore hastily assem-
bled a make shift raft on which to
bring him to shore. Before the
raft was completed, however, JAM
es Clark and Thomas Lamb of
Smyrna drove up in truck loaded
with a rowboat, launched the boat
and brought Sheridan to safety.
State Trooper James Vaughn
drove him to the office of DR.. Rich
ard Comegys, Clayton where he
was treated and released. Sher-
idan, in good spirits, apparently
was not suffering from either
shock or exposure.
Alone in Plane
The plane was a two-passenger
Aerocoupe but there was no one
with Sheridan at the time of the
crash. According to Sheridan who
is c. A. A. licensed pilot he had
gained his airspeed of 55 miles per
hour but chose to hold the plane
on the ground until he was near
the end of the runway. When he
did finally raise the plane few
feet from the ground, it seemed to
hesitate in the air losing what
airspeed it had gained and then
made its plunge into the lake. He
cut the engine before the plane hit
the water and had his safety belt
