7 July 1913

Chicago, Ill., July 7. – Flying at the rate of 50 miles an hour today, Glenn Martin's hydroaeroplane dipped too close to the surface of Lake Michigan and was overturned. Martin and his assistant, Charles H. Day, clung to the overturned craft until rescued by the lifesaving crew. Neither airman was hurt, nor was the machine badly damaged. Martin is one of the entrants in the flying boat cruise to Detroit scheduled to take place tomorrow and is still hopeful of being able to take part.
