THE ENDEAVOUR TRAGEDY.
DETAILS DESCRIBED
(Received 8 a.m.)
LONDON, Nov. 13
An eye-witness of the Alliance aeroplane crash, in which Captain Douglas and Lieutenant Ross were killed as they wer c starting on their Australia flight, say s that the aeroplane was flying at great speed at a height ot a thousand feet, and everything seemed to be going quite smoothly. Then the engine stopped, and immediately the machine came earthwards, turned round and round, spinning in a nose dive. When the "Endeavour" had fallen to the height of the housetop s the pilot seemed to be attempting to regain control, but was too late. There was a terrible report, but it is not true that the wreckage caught fire, though parts wer e saturated with petrol.—A. and N.Z.
