HONOLULU, November 28.—Navy officers vesterday examined the body of Lieut. Comdr. Millington B. Me- Comb to determine, if posible, how he met his death, when his airplane crashed off Koko Head. Comdr. Me- Comb’s plane fell into the sea while be and 1. C. Anthony, a Navy me- cha . were flying as an escort to the steamer Malolo, which was leaving Honolulu for San Francisco. The investigators concluded that Me- Comb did not leap from his plane and | that if any one jumped, as passenges the Malolo reported, it must have | been Anthony. There were two planes | in the naval escort. One was flown by B ut. R. P. Kauffmann, who returned o Pear] Harbor Naval Station and re- § ported the accident. A message received here yesterday from the olo said that one wing of the plane broke cleanly off. Naval tugs, which searched the spot where the plane fell, found no trace of Anthony or the wreckage of the plane. It is presumed Anthony was killed.
