expected after he saw tho bluebird special taking r fourmile run start capt campbell made his first run south with the wind negotiating the official mile in 1676 seconds for a speed of 21479713 miles an hour which was 11 miles an hour faster than major segraves record on his return trip north made against a strong wintry wind the englishman covered the offi cial mile in 13t3 seconds for a speed of 19960722 miles an hour his average elapsed time both ways over tho course was 17395 seconds and his average miles an hour was 20c95602 had narrow escape immediately after he- had crossed the wire at tho end of the official mile capt- campbell narrowly escaped what might have been a serious acci dent when his huge machine struck a soft bump on the sand and for an instant the driver lost control of his car swerving dangerously at such a tremendous speed the machine for an instant seemed to head for the soft sand dunes which undoubtedly would have resulted in the death of the englishman and demolishing of the car the bump which was located higher on the bench than the britisher had intended to drive threw him half way out of the seat and for an instant his feet bounced completely off the bralras nrd accelerator his goggles slipped down over his eyes obstructing his vision but he righted tho machine and it roared on down the courso stopping near the end of the beach four miles away mrs campbell witnessing the epochal run from the grand stand leaped when she saw her husbands car strike thebump and she covered her faco with her hands not after record fearing that a serious accident had happened mrs campbell did not loos up until friends told her that her hus band had completed his run safely on his second run north capt camp bell drove his machine farther out on the beach where the sands were hard packed the wind slowed him up per- coptibly and he was able to average only 19966 miles an hour over the official mile course after he had completed his run the englishman drove his car back to tho pit and was greeted with cheers from the grand stand- frank lockhart indianapolis who is here seeking to establish a new worlds record in his stutz blackhawk special was the first person to rush up and greet the britisher for thirty minutes capt campbell and his machine wero surrounded by hundreds of spectators who rushed to extend him their congratulations i alut 5000 saw the run captain campbell insisted ho had not intended to go after a new record today but merely wanted to try out the beach which was decidedly tin- proved over what it had been for tho past three days f
