bound, arrived in Bisbee at 4;50 this
afternoon, after making a flight from

Sixteen miles west of Bisbee, FoW-
Ter lost his bearings for time and

club, coming down in a long spiral
sweep.
For short time today, Fowler was
flying over Old Mexico. At Naco he
turned his machine south and flew
out over Mexico for mile and a half,
and then turned back into the United
States.
Conditions tonight are not propi-
titious for a flight tomorrow. 1t is
raining, but Fowler announced that
unless the storm grew worse by morn
ing. he would start at o'clock for
Deming, n. NJ, IN miles east. He
expects to be in Eel Paso by Sunday
afternoon.
Fowler's greatest altitude today
was 5000 feet made over Hereford.
