CURTIS HURT AT NEWPORT NEWS
Fell 50 to 75 Feet While Learning to Manage a Flying Boat.
Lawrence Curtis 2nd '16, one of the members of the University who has been studying aviation at the Atlantic Coast aeronautical station at Newport News, W. Va., was injured yesterday morning while taking a lesson in managing a flying-boat. Although Curtis fell from 50 to 75 feet, the accident did not prove very serious, since he received only a broken ankle.
Officials of the station stated that the accident was caused by banking too sharply. The boat itself was badly damaged.
Previous to his going to Newport News, Curtis was in the service of the American Embassy in Paris. He returned on the steamer with Ambassador Gerard's party, and shortly after arriving in America he went to Newport News to take up the aviation training.
