While out riding, a sport he had recently taken up, it is presumed that he dismounted to adjust the harness. Frightened or disquieted, possibly by a low-flying jet, his mount lashed out and by unhappy coincidence struck the rider on the head, causing instant death.? This was the version put out by the newspapers. Van der Valk, who had invented the low-flying jet and was rather proud of it, felt contented. This was not the sort of case that demanded an orthodox inquiry?.* This is a NEAR GD+ copy of this 1975 reprint with considerable age & shelf wear.*
