crash in Phaleron Bay, Athens, this morn- ing of Alexandria-Southampton airboat Cour- tion-sister ship of Atlantic record-breaking Caledonia and Cambria-in which three of the nine passengers were killed and four injured-one of them a woman.

He said that when the machine was about fifty feet above the sea level he thought he was already. on the water and made the necessary manoeuvres to alight. Owing to her height, how- ever, the 'plane dropped like a stone.
Second outstanding fact about the crush is that none of the crew of five was injured.
Being on duty on the top deck in the nose of the giant Empire airboat they were in a position of greater safety than the passengers, all of whom were submerged in their cabins below.
The three passengers drowned were:-- Wing-Commander WILFRED REGINALD DYKE ACLAND, D.F.C., A.F.C., aged forty-three, who was apppointed to com- mand No. 70 Bomber Squadron, Hinaidi, Iraq, in August 1936. Mr. JOHN RAYMOND HENDERSON, forty-seven-year-old
