The Mishap.

The plane swooped down on the car for the last time and the bomb was thrown with excellent effect, but the machine, for some reason as yet unknown, failed to go up in a zoom as smartly as it should have done. At a speed of some- thing over 100 miles an hour the tip of the right wing, right wheel and propeller, hit the ground at what appeared to be a small angle, this having the effect of bouncing the plane into the air, aided by the lift of the wings.

She was sitting in the cockpit badly shaken. Miss Grace was taken to hospital, but a gash on the forehead was the only serious injury she had. Her escape was attributed to the plane falling in marshy land.

Later he went to Weihaiwei with H.M.S. Hermes, and Lieut. F.W.N. Bassett (Flying Officer, R.N.) ably filled his place. The Club's thanks are likewise due to Lieut. Bassett for the instructional hours he put in before Flying Officer Howes ar- rived.
