INQUIRY COMMENCES. DAMAGE TO MACHINE. Received December 8, 12.50 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 7. The Daily Telegraph’s Brindisi correspondent says that the flying-boat Cygnus is still heavily guarded by police, but it is revealed that both wings were torn out of their sockets, the nose smashed off, the bottom ot the hull torn off, and the aluminium overlay split over the whole of the machine in the crash. The cabin floor has disappeared and the instruments and cables are hanging loose. Both port engines are split. The Imperial Airways experts, whose inquiry is continuing in secret, have refused to express an opinion as to why there was such ruin. It is understood the Italian air authorities have already concluded that the accident was not due to an engine breakdown or the inefficiency ot tbe pilot and personnel.
