Accidents occurred to "Miss each day Sir Henry brought her out.

While travelling at a great speed on Tuesday, a steel propellor be came flattened out at the tip of the plate. When the boat returned to the shore, Sir Henry said he was delighted that the damage was not more serious.
On Wednesday evening, when a speed of 10109 m.p.h. was attain- ed; the temporary propeller broke.
On Thursday, the boat narrowly escaped disaster when the blade of a new propeller, which was fitted on only five minutes before, broke off and grazed the bottom of the boat. Segrare then said that it was very lucky that the blade did not come right through the bottom of the boat.

A FRESH-AIR FILM.
After so many pictures of stage and night-club life it is a pleasant change to see "Salute!" at the Queen's Theatre-film whose no- tion mainly takes place out in the open-air.
The training neademies for Ameri- ean naval and military officers pro- vide the two chief male characters
in
"Salute!" and the pictures
showing them at work and play have an interest all their own, quite apart from the romantic story woven around this material.
The main incident is the annual football match between the Army and Navy cadets, and for those who have not seen the American game at close quarters, this film gives a very realistic and thrilling picture of the play.
flame, it being later discovered that the blade of a prepeller had broken off and was grazing the bottom.
"Now For It! "*
Sir H. Segrave, before starting to-day, said:"Now for it. She has chewed up three propellers. I am trying a bronze one. If it fails, I shall fit a steel one. The
boat is an absolute experiment. Anything may happen."
When Lady Segrave wished him good-luck, be replied:
I shall either do it or kill my self, but whatever happens I shall step on the gas and drive like hell."
Sir H. Segrave was unconscious when picked up.
However, he soon recovered, but is believed to have suffered severe shock.

Segrave set the example to all. A man of genius in his own world, he must be counted among those who have deserved well of their King, and his name will be remem- bered in honour."
He is lost in the undying attempt The Manchester Guardian says:- to discipline the forces of nature to man's purposes.
