STANLEY BEACH PLUNGES FROM
FLYING MACHINE AS IT DASHES
OVER CLIFF AT LORDSHIP PARK
Stanley Y. Beach, aeronautic editor
f the Scientific American, plunged
over the cliff at Lordship park at 2
o'clock this afternoon in his new Ble
riot monoplane, which had gotten be
yond his control.
Mr. Beach left the ground a short
distance from the clifT, and as it
neared the edge of the cliff, which
sheers off at an angle of about 45 de
grees to the sandy shore skirting the
Sound near Point-no-Point, the mon
oplane left the ground.
Before he could bring It to a stop
the device, with its 50 horse Ppwer
engine, had cleared the edge or the
villi, auu uiiig - -
ed its prow into a mass of rocks.
Beach leaped out as he saw the ac-
cidentwas unavoidable, ana as me ma
chine was but a short distance above
ground, he escaped uninjured. The
accident was witnessed by scores or
residents of the exclusive summer col
ony at Lordship park, as well as a
number of automobilists from this
city and Stratford who had been in
vited by Mr. Beach to watch his series
of experiments. j.
This is the same machine with
which Mr. Beach got off the round
about a foot or two yery
on the grassy slope at Lordship ne
. succeeded in making Just enough
flight to convince him of the efficl
encv of his aeroplane.
. Undaunted by the mishap he an
nounced he was more COIlnd1enttIa"
trer that he will succeed in lying
across Long Island Sound, which is
lust now the goal of his ambition.
The loss cannot be accurately esti
mated, but it will be probably more
than $2,000. The damage to the en
gine is not now known. Mr. Beacn s
wife was one of the interested spec
tators, driving down to the Park In
Mr. Beach's Locomobile.
