McCurdy Forced to Land in Havana Water Flight
J A D McCurdy attempted an over water flight from Key West to Havana and nearly reached his goal before his engine ran hot and the lubricant supply exhausted. He landed the plane on the sea ten miles from Havana harbor and was picked up unhurt. Spectators watched with disappointment as the self imposed attempt ended near Camp Columbia. The delay and weather of the day drew a holiday mood in Key West.

Moravia Street was repaved last summer similarly from general improvement funds.
