Atkins, Jr., Wealthy Planter, and Children Perish in Crash of Columbus Into Sea Off Key West; 4 Passengers Are Rescued by Ferry. KEY WEST, Fl kins, Jr., , Jan. 18.—(United Press).—E. A. At- millionaire sugar planter, his two sons and their governess perished this afternoon when the Aero Marine Airways seaplane Columbus dived into the Gulf of Mexico twenty miles off Havana. Mrs. Atkins, who saw her husband and children drown before her eyes, was rescued by the crew of the ferryboat Henry M. Flagler. The others aboard the sea- Plane picked up by the Flagler were ‘Miss Julia Haverty, a nurse with the Atkins family; Otto Abrahams, weal- thy New York broker, and W. B. Miller and Harold Thompson, pilot and mechaniclan of the plane. The Flagler docked here tonight with the survivors. Pilot Miller de- clared engine trouble forced him to attempt a descent when twenty miles from Havana, his destination. As he turned the nose of his machine toward the water, something snapped and the plane crumpled, diving down out of control. The four who dled were trapped in their seats and were unable to extricate themselves. Their bodies have not been recovered, The survivors clung to the wreck- age. They were unable to aid Atkins, the two children and the governess. The Flagler, which came in sight just as the seaplane fell, sent off a small oat to the rescue. Those picked up were unhurt except for shock and a drenching. ‘The Atkins family had just arrived from New York, thelr homq, and were en route to Cuba where Atkins had extensive sugar holdings. “The first indication of trouble came When wor were aboutS-three quarters of a mile away from the Flagler,” Miller said. "We had been going along all right when I noticed that the engine was beginning to miss. a “f tried for several minutes to ad- just the engine so as to keep it from missing but in spite of everything I tried it kept on failing. I cut down the speed of the plane and decided 1 would come down and then try to ad- just the trouble. “I had been making 68 mfles an hour and cut it down to 45. “I put the machine into a glide and attempted a landing. I brought it down all right but we struck the top of a high wave and bounded back into the air. “A high sea was running and made the landing very difficult. “I soared around a few times and again attempted to land. “This time I landed in the trough of a big wave which crushed the center passenger compartment of the ship. “Both of the children were in this compartment asleep. “The wave must have killed them instantly, as they made no sound after the cabin caved in, “Mrs. Atkins opened the cockpit and was the first to come out. I crawled over from my seat to where she was clinging to the wreckage, and helped Miss Haverty and Miss McDonald out of the pit. Atkins had crawled out of his seat in the pit and was wild to dive intp the center com- partment and save his children. I held him back, though, as it would have meant certain death to do so. “Just as we had all secured good strips on the wreckage, a big, wave came along and turned the plane com- pletely over, Mr. Atkins and Miss McDonald lost thelr grip and were swept away into the sea, which was running high. We could see them carried away but it would have been gulclde to try to rescue them, “Thompson and I held on to thi wreckage with one hand while we helped the other two women to keep their grips. “The waves were running high and we hung tightly, hoping that the Flagler saw us fall. We had been there several min utes when a life boat from the Flag- ler came to our rescue, Captain John Albury himself headed the rescue party. “Several unsuccessful attempts wero made to transfer us to the life boat due to the heavy seas. Mrs. Atkins was the first one to be taken from the wreck. Then followed Miss Haverty and Mr. Abrahams. We were then rowed back to the Flagler and brought here.” Mrs. Atkins was taken to a hospital &s soon as the Flagler docked here. Bhe appeared to be suffering from a loss of memory and dia not seem to reallze what had happened. The rest of the survivors were little the worse for thelr harrdwing exper- fence. Aside from being drenched by their stay in the water, they suffered no other {il effects. Boats will leave here tomorrow in an effort to recover the bodies of the victims, Little hope is held out for (Continued on Page Two) THREE INJURED AS CARS TURN OVER ON D. R. G.

Aside from the recent formal note of protest presented to the American government against the French occu- pation of the Ruhr, Germany is in- forming the United States completely of its policy and position in the pres ent crisis, through conversations th Ambassador Wiedfeldt, the German envoy, 1s having with Secretary of State Hughes.
