PRESENCE OF MIND
TURNING THE PETROL O¥¥,
(Beceived, 30th May, 1 p.m.)
BEISBANE, This Day. Later reports reveal that Miss John* son's crash was attended by more seri« ous possibilities than the first news indicated. It appears that her 'plana struck a barbed wire fence and th» machine turned over after knocking down the post. She was travelling about ten miles an hour, when she hit the fence, two posts of which caught in the wings of the 'plane. The 'planewent through for about five yards, stood on its nose and finished upside down. When the men arrived, Amy was lying on the ground and the petro] running out. She said, "Let me turn it off. I don't want the machine to catch fire."
