The only visible fnjury was a lacerated- ~wound on the left chin, supposed to have been inflicted when the aviator was thrown violently against the cowling surrounding the pllot’s seat. It was believed that his neck may have been broken by the impact, but no autopsy was deemed necessary. The body was found shortly after 7 o'clock, when the crew of a launch from the afrcraft tender Sandpiper, with the ald of several fishermen raised the plane through 15 feet of water, into which it had plunged Sat- urday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock, whiie en route from the Ana- costia, D. C., naval air station to the Hampton Roads station here. Hold Death Merciful. Death overtook the flyer, Comdr. J. F. Moloney, flight officer, said he thought, when the plane, a Curtiss hawk, equipped with pontoons instead of wheels struck a fish sound pole. The speed of the plane was approxi- mately 160 miles an hour, and the plane was shot into the water. It was Comdr. Moloney’s opinion that Conant wzs killed instantly, judging from tle position in which the body was discovered. . P. Hudgins, a fisherman of Mathews Court House, was in a boat on Winter Harbor, a short distance from his home, he told Comdr. Mo- loney, when he heard the crash of the piane about a half mile from him. | When he arrived on the scene a few minutes after a mass of oil and wreckage covered the surface of the {'bay and only the tip end of a broken wing was visible, as the craft had sunk. His efforts to reach the body were futile, Comdr. Moloney and other naval officers who inspected the scene of the crash, had but little doubt that the plane was wrecked after str ing one of the stakes with which Win- ter Harbor, a short distance north of New Point Comfort light, is stud- ded.

Moloney that the day was a bit foggy and that visibility of the water was not good. He was not able to see the plane which he heard racing over the water low. Some were of the opinion that Conant, fearing he was off his course, had descended to get his bearings, but the prevailing opinion is that he was flying low to the water accustoming himself to the low altitude at which the racing planes are usually flown. Body Still in Position. Hudgins was at the scene before the aviators and the Sandpiper, which was dispatched at 3 o'clock, arrived and had_succeeded in passing a line under the fusilage of the wrecked craft. Another line was thrown under the plane and the Sandpiper hauled her to the surface to expose the body of the flyer still sitting grimly at the controls, one hand on the lever and another dangling beside the throttle.
