The train ran away from the engine and the first coach, going off the . rails, dashed over a viaduct to the ravine} below, just in front of the Monten- vers hotel. Through the presence of mind of a passenger named Remery, who applied the emergency brake, the second car was kept from following tne first. * The mountain railway, of the rack and pinion type, is three and a quar- ter miles long, having a maximum grade of 22 per cent. 449 KILLED IN NAVY DISASTER Eleven of Dead Were Japan- ese Naval Officers—One Body Recovered Tokyo, Aug. 26.—()—Figures giv- en out today placed the dead in Wednesday night’s Japanese naval, disaster at 119, including 11 officers.

Lenneau was still alive this morn- ing although he had grown appreci- ably weaker through the night. Held by timber and earth in an upright po- sition, he is unable to move but his head is protected so that he is able to breathe freely. Ninety men worked through the night ‘daalse a parallel ‘excavation.

STEAMER SEES ‘AVIATOR, RADIO MESSAGE SAYS Plane Flying at Altitude of ) About 2,000 Feet and Headed Southward | OTHER REPORTS LACKING Georgia Man Left Brunswick Yesterday on Non-Stop Trip to Brazil St. Petersburg, Fla. Aug. 26. —(AP)— A radio message from station 4-AQF, Nassau, picked up here by the Financial Journal's 40 meter wirelens station today, said that the Port of Brunswick, piloted by Paul Redfern, was sighted 300 miles east of the British Bahamas by a steamer. The steamer arrived at Nassau att 11:40 p. m. last night and re- ported that the plane, on its non- stop flight to Brazil. was flying at an altitude of about 2,000 feet, headed in a southerly direction. Bunswick, Ga. Aug 26—(P)—-A vast expanse of sea and sky stretch- ing y to the tropics today held behind its walls of silence the fate of its newest explorer. Roaring away from Brunswick at noon yesterday in the face of un- usually favorable weather conditions, Paul — Redfern, Georgia aviator, piloted his Stinson-Detroiter mono- plane seaward on his proposed 4,600 mile non-stop journey to Rio de Janerio. He sought to establish new endurance and distance mark Despite headwinds forecast, Red- fern today should be far along on his route through the tropics. Steer- ing w course east of the Bahamas, the young birdman headed for Porto Rico, which his schedule indicated he should have reached by midnight. Pressing on, Redfern hoped to be speeding during the day over the wa- ters of the Caribbean sea toward the Isle of Trinidad. Not Yet Heard From The daring birdman had not been heard from since his plane winged its way southeasterly out over the Far out of the path of ships plow- ing through sout! ern waters during the early stages of the flight befcre he reaches’ Porto Rico, Redfern was d swung oyer the Caribbean « je. <radle Sf aurricahes.; As sac he enters this leg of i ing steamers may give of the plane’s progres: vices have been broadcast thoughout that region requesting any informa- tion, Naval navigators and hydrograph- ers at Washington said that if Red- fern reached his objective it would |be nothing short of a miracle. They estimated he would miss his-objective at Rio de Janeiro by about 450 miles, as they did not believe his gasoline supply would last more than 57 hours, while with favorable conditions it would take 62 hours to reach his goal. They believe when he reaches the northeastern coast of Brazil he will turn east to Pernambuco. Hopes to Reach Rio Redfern, in referring to his flight, called it the Brunswick to Brazil hop, and suid that that when he reachet the Amazon river he would check his gasoline supply to determine whether he would change his course to Pernambuco or keep on to Rio. The fact that Redfern will be in contact with land during most of his flight, naval men point out, is in his favor, as he will be aided in keeping his course at night by navigation lights for the net work of islands over which he is flying. He will be assisted also by ship lights as his course curries him over the United States to South America ship lines in which there are numerous shipping board vessels. Wife Is Confident ; Redfern'’s young wife, who wit- nessed his take-off, collapsed in. the arms of friends as the plane sailed out over the Atlantic yesterday, but she was confident he would succeed. Redfern’s 4,600 mile hop is one of. the most exhaustive tests of both man and machine. Alone, he must chart his course and pilot his ship for more than 50 hours, bucking un- favorable winds, crossing the torrid zone; then over almost impenetrable jungles of the Amazon valley and over the towering coastal mountains ef Brazil to reach his objective. The plane carried 525 gallons of gasoline and 40 gallons of oil, in ad dition to safety equipment for both land and sea. Will Drop Flares Sometime during the afternoon or Cae evening, Redfern was expected to fly some 50 miles east of Trinidad and then head along the fringe, of the South American’ coast to a int. about 50 miles off Georgetown, Brit- ish Guiana. Here he planned to turn inland and proceed toward the Ama- zon river. He declared he would drop a flare, over the town of Macapa, to jadieste uber he intended proceed- “hedfern at the outset realized that - a slight error in calculations. might throw him off his course and: cause ~ Semstion of an invaluable quan- tity of gasoline; He decia he would determine o Macapa if-he had sufficient fuel in his tanks to reach Rio safely, or a lesser amount to insure him heading toward Per- nambuco on the coast.
