The machine fortunately did not hit

only the loss of camera.
1t was while making these fights
that Coffyn demonstrated the feasibil-
ity of communicating with ships in
case of emergency, He few down the
harbor and overlook the Italian liner
Axona and landed passenger with
out the slightest difficulty. Coffyn aft
erward said he could have caught the
boat 80 miles outside New York just
as easily.
II would also seem that the water
machine would be valuable for life
saving purposes along the coast. Dur
ing the Chicago aviation meet last
August an aviator lost control while
flying and was pitched into the water.
Three quarters of mile away Aviator
Hugh Robinson was performing circles
IL Curtiss machine. Seeing his fell
low fiier In distress, he few to the res.
cue at mile minute, reached the
spot, landed on the water alongside the
submerged aeroplane and offered to
give the plot lift All this In less
than one minute.
On another occasion Naval Aviator
Herbster while carrying a passenger
over San Diego Bay had some mis-
hap in alighting and turned over. This
was about half mile from the shore.
Long before motor boats could reach
the spot Harry Atwood had launched
his machine from the beach and in
less than minute was to the rescue
Of MIR, Herbster and his passenger
Neither was hurt. and both preferred
to stay by their machine. which was
upside down In the water, until a mo
tor boat came to tow 1t to shore.
A Hammondsport physician who had
received an urgent call to see pa
! tient across Lake keuka. not being
able to get boat at once, found ar
aviator to take him there The pa
tient was in a serious condition. and
the time saved was important
This new aircraft is not limited te
the water, II can fly at a speed Of
! so miles or more, skim the water al

There have been some striking H.
lustrations of this. For instance, on
February 10 Hugh Robinson while fly
ing at Antilles. near Nice, France.
started out to give demonstration
In rough weather. When he attempt.
ed to come down the shore was crowd
ed with spectators and he was forced
to descend on the water. AS he wss
about 10 Eettle a big wave rolled up
and hit the tail of the machine, pitch
ing him out head first Robinson es-
capped with a drenching.
Two years before John B. Moisant
was killed in Just such fall on land.
While making fight of $40 miles
along the Mississippi river Robinson's
motor stopped out over the river. He
reached the water drifted shoreward
and was towed back to the starting
point by boat
1t is this margin of safety that
makes the hydro-aeroplane popular
with the sportsman, who heretofore
has hesitated about taking up flying
for the reason that the sensation did
not Justify the risk. Aeroplane build
ers both in Europe and America have
awakened to the situation and are
turning out machines fitted with floats
or hydros.
The aeronautical organizations
throughout the country have been I'M
pressed with this clean record OF the
hvlr, q lot, a.
utmost to promote thus form of fight.
As consequence schools are being
established along water.fronts to sup
plant the aerodromes on land. This
alone should insure liberal patron
age when It is considered that the
Aero Club Of America and It's affiliated
clubs alone have membership of s..
900 and the Aeronautical OF New York
has about 300 members.
