FAMOUS MOTORIST
KILLED.
SIR HENRY SEGRAVE'S BOAT ACCIDENT.
BREAKS THE RECORD BUT DIES FROM INJURIES.
FATALISTIC FORECAST.
Sportsmen throughout the world will hear with the deepest regret that during an attempt to beat the world's record with his motor-boat "Miss England the Second," on Lake Windermere yesterday, Sir Henry Segrave received such injuries when the craft capsized that he succumbed shortly afterwards. One of his mechanics was also seriously injured, whilst the other is missing and feared drowned.
First news of the disaster stated that Sir Henry was picked up unconscious after the accident, but that he was uninjured. He was rushed away in an ambulance to a residence near by, when, however, it. was discovered that he had broken an arm and a thigh, whilst his ribs were penetrated. Despite the efforts of three doctors, he passed away in the presence of Lady Segrave last evening.
