While flying near Truro, the crew encountered poor visibility due to mist and night when the airplane crashed in the Cobequid Bay. The keeper of the local lighthouse said he heard the engine of an aircraft that crashed and later some shout or cries. The wreckage of the aircraft named 'New York' was found the following day. A first dead body was found the same day and the second dead body three days later.
