Leaving ' the sround with his motor| running at full spead, he rose in sweep- | ing circles until he had reached an| altitude sufficient for him to clear the Resti Shoulder, to the southeastward | of Brig.. This obstacle having been | overcome, the Peruvian aviator headed | his monoplane straight for the sm“.l capped crags of the Fletchorn. Con- | stantly ascending. Chavez reached the | implon Kulm, where, at an altitude | estimated at 7,200 feat, he turned his| machine south over the terrifying Sim- | plon Pass, with the Kaltwasser glacier | at his left and the frozen peak of the !

Tt was here that the accident occurred. Best World's Record for Height. Some of the spectators of the flight say that after crossing the Simplon Pass Chavez followed the short cut route over the Monser Pass. which is 8.000 feet above the sea. If this bel =0, it is possible that the Peruvian beat his own world's record for height of 8,271 feet.
