Roys A. Ellis, Jr. '40 and a passenger; E. G. Howes of Boston, narrowly escaped death when they were forced to land a Stinson monoplane on a short, narrow cinder stretch adjacent to the naval drydock in Sou8th Boston yesterday.

Ellis jammed the brakes so hard when he landed that the plane went over on its nose, tossing the pilot and Howes out of their seats.
