SOLE SURVIVOR'S STORF.

The Fatal Dash,

In the evening a reporter Baw Wilcocks, the only survivor. He was in bedroom in the Old England Hotel where Sir Henry Segrave stayed. The hotel over- looks the waters of Windermere. Wilcocks was then unaware of Sir Henry's denth. When told that the world's speed record had been broken, he said: Well: I am cer tain my friend Halliwell will have gone happily, knowing that he has helped to achieve that for which he set out."

Wilcocks supervised the instal- lations of the engines in Miss Eng- land, and accompanied Sir Henry Segrave on every trial run he made.

I have no idea what happened to cause the accident," he said. We may have struck an object or we may not. We made dne run at over ninety miles an hour and on the other we exceeded, I know, the three-figüre mark. Then we decided to turn round and make a third attempt, and as we swung round the second buoy Sir Henry stood on the throttle pedal.

The Speed Thrill. "We were all keyed up and tense. We know anything might happen, but we were taking the risk. The engines were behaving "splendidly

The boat was right on top of her form, and we knew that we were travelling faster than man has ever travelled on water before. Then it happened. It is like nightmare now. All I know was that there a sudden shudder. I seemed to be falling, falling, falling. That is all I remember. I must have then lost conscioumea, I next re. member lying in a boat.

I have a hazy recollection of being attended to by several people. and then I came to, to find myself lying in this bed. I am so pleased we have broken the record, but the loss of life is ghastly."

Wilcocks had one eye hurt and his face badly bruised, while he had a big gash in his side, yet he continued calmly to smoke one cigarette after another.

A Change of Mind,

Mr. A. G. Reynolds, one of the official timekeepers, said: We understood that Sir Henry was to have made an attempt on the mile both ways, and then he was going to change is brouze propeller for the steel cne, which is faster. Ap parently be changed his mind and came back a third time with the bronze propeller."

Broken-Hearted Mechanics, „ At the boat-shed a group of anxious-eyed mechanics were wait ing for the news. They had seen, three miles away, the boat plunge into a sco of foam and they had heard, her engines suddenly cease. They were almos: frantie, for many of them had been working night and day for six months at the sheds at Cowes in order to perfect Miss They were now broken-hearted, and one of them said: This has just knocked the What is, there to be said It is terrible. All our labours have gone down "

Before going out Sir Henry Segrave had said." Well, now for it She has chewed up three pro pellers, and I am trying a bronze one on her now. If this fails 1 shall put a steel one on, and if that fails I shall postpone my attempt for a week or so to make experiments with a new propeller. The boat is an absolute experiment and any thing may, happen, but we have got to trust to luck and the wonderful skill of those who have been work- ing on her for so long."
