DEATH IN ALL FORMS
AIRMEN’S ESCAPE. LONDON, June 2. Two army officiers had a miraculous escape at Westbury (Wilts). The pilot was flying low, seeking to land, when he demolished a chimney. He attempted to descend on a meadow, but was prevented by frightened cattle galloping about, and just missed some railway metals as an express tore past. He then struck a fence and crashed into a pond holding 10ft. of water. Both officers were strapped to their seats, and were rescued when on the point of drowning.
