RUNAWAY AIRPLANE
HAIR RAISING ANTICS WITHOUT PILOT CRASH FROM 600 FEET United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright ROME, Tuesday.

The pilot had been about to ascend and had left the cockpit of the machine for a moment. He had accidentally started the engine and before ho could intervene the airplane had risen into the air. Then began some hair-raising evolutions, the machine always keeping in circles of flight. After 20 minutes a gust of wind threw it into a slide and the end came.
