MAJOR JORDAN'S DEATH.
, THE PERIL OF AVIATION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Writing to his relatives, Lieutenant Grace, of Rangiora, gives details of the manner in which Major B. S. Jordan, a Main Body man and a well-known Rangiora resident, was killed. Gxmc says that at a sports gathering at Codford camp Jordan went up with an American airman who was doing some fancy "stunts." After looping the loop several times they descended in a spiral, in the middle of which one of the wings broke, and they fell from a height of 1500 feet. When the men were picked up they were found with their hands clasped, as if they made a final shake of hands as the machine crashed to earth. .
