Norfolk, Dec. 24—Damage sustained in a previous take off in rough seas is believed to have caused the swamping of the Naval ambulance seaplane at Hampton Roads Naval Air Station yesterday, which resulted in the death of three Naval men and Andrew Williams of Buxton, North Carolina. An official inquiry was ordered by Naval authorities today to determine the cause of the accident which befell the plane on descending to the water after returning with Williams from the North Carolina coast. The patient was suffering from pneumonia and was being brought to the hospital here.
