Arrives EARLY In Morning
Dover, England, July 26.-This
sleepy seaport town experienced the
keenest thrill known in a generation
when at sunrise yesterday morning a
white-winged, birdlike machine with
loudly humming motor swept out from
the haze obscuring the sea toward the
distant French coast, and, circling
twice above the high, chalky cliffs uf
Dover, alighted on English soil. A
calm Frenchman, Louis Bleriot.
portly and red mustached man of 81,
descended from the saddle, limping OH
a bandaged foot, which had been
burned on his previous overland fight.
Immediately two compatriots, who
had been waving a big tricolor flag as
a signal for the landing place, fell
upon him enthusiastically, embracing
him. shouting and pounding him on the
back. They, with a few soldiers and
others who happened by chance to be
on the scene, were the only persons 70

one of the smallest monoplanes ever
used. He crossed the channel in a
little less than half an hour, twice rs
swiftly as the fastest mailboat. His
speed averaged more than 40 miles an

the sea level, and for 10 minutes, while

The wind was blowing about 20 miles

wind, which covered him from the top
of his head to his feet, only his face
