New Orleans, La., Dec! 31. John B.
?.Ii)isant, the aviator, was fatally hurt
Hi is morning" about 10 o'clock while
the scene of ih'e; Avfient. "
When the" "Accttfient Occurred.
Moisant in his ' fifty horse. power
lUcriot monoplane,, witi fecial "gaso
line tank aboard, left the aviation
Ik-Id at 10:05 o'clock and flew to Hara-
lian, the special grounds over which
the aviator was to try for the Miche
lin cuir. Moisant circled the 'Ifield
twice, trying to 'find a landing place.
This was diEtlcult,' the field belh'g-on
h? edge of the Mississippi Rrver anPl
swamps on all other sides. Suddenly,
from a cause which may never "bf
known, the monoplane turned its head
downward. The horrified , watchers
saw Moisant pitched clear oVer the
head of the machine and fall like a
plummet for a distance o( fully onip
hundred feet, landing on Wsliead.'The
machine with its propeilers stlll. worst
ing, turned sidewlse arid fell'a'cbnV
pletc wreck. Moisant was rsfceAtoa
Hat car and hurried to a hospital herei.
lie was still breathing whdn placed
aboard tlfeca& r" "
The Body Reaches New Orleans.
The report that Moisant mefwltri
an ac cident spread rapidly. When the
special bearing the body arrived! fit
the station there was a vast crowd.
As the train drew in several men leap-1
cd to the platform and running to an
ambulance told the surgeons that
.Moisant was still alive. The first sur
geon, however, who reached the car
saw that Moisant was dead. A hush
fell over the throng as the attendants
bore the body to the ambulance.
The Scene of the Fatality.
Harahan is a station on the Illinois
Central, twelve miles from New Or
leans. On one side lies the Missis
sippi river. On the other, a small
strip of dense swamp land separates it
from Lake Pontehartrain. The air cur
rents are peculiar, with -ales fre
quently sweeping westward-.' "along
Lake Pontehartrain and meeting; a
heavy rush of wind coming down .the
river, causing whirls in the' air
was noted as dangerous ' by J eeveral
aviators. Harahan is accessible to
New Orleans only by a road which
runs along the top of . a letee;. .
The Thirty-Fourth Martyr.
Moisant is the thirty-f ourthfman to
loi;e his life in development of avia
tion. Twenty-nine were killed during
the present year. Four were killed in
1909 and one in 1908. The death roll
includes George Chavez, the Peruvian
who flew over the Alps and was fatal
ly injured while Tending; Ralph John

Career of Moisant.

San Francisco and later to Nicaragua,

After being blown live milesVf rom his;
course by a forty mile windy he glided
downward from an "altitude of 9,0d9
'feet, barely escaping rough landing, in.
a clump ' of trees, Which his skill,Vas
pilot enabled him to avoid- by a-narrow
margin.
