As tne plane, heavy load- ed with gasoline, shot down the runway, it skidded off and went into a ground loop and buried the left wing in the ground. Before the craft struck, the aviatrix quickly cut the line from catching fire. She was unhurt. Carrying bales of litera- ture to drop en route, Miss Nichols had planned to make a non-stop flight to the west coast in an attempt to break the record of Amelia Ear- “hart. anes F vd COMPLETE WORK ON FIRE ENGINE PRELIMINARY TEST OF AP-/ ' “PARATUS MADE YESTER. | BAY | { Rebuilding one of the engines at Number 1 fire’ station was com-. pleted this week, and a preliminary ; test wax made yesterday. | All of the work was done at the tation by Mechanic Clarence Thompson, of the department, Myron Russell, assistant and meth- bers of the department stationed there.
