Both had quitted the machine on landing, but she re-entered it and flew off. The name of the pilot is Pierre Lallemant, and his passenger was Madame Schmeder-Thalleput. They were joint owners of the aeroplane, in which they often entered for competitions. M. Laileniant is to marry another woman this week. His wound is not serious.
