make the fight by compass. verifying
the course by prominent points How
ever. the air was extremely rough and
so hazy that objects over two miles
away could not be distinguished. Ac-
cordlngly, after following a compass
course west until the Santa Fe rail-
road was reached, at a point of five
miles east of Algao, it was determined
to follow this. The route followed
passed through Algao. Arcola, Rich
mond, Eagle Lake, Columbus, Flatonia
and Lulling to Fort Sam Houston. We
arrived over Fort Sam Houston at 5:35
p. m. and continued circling the field
until 6:37, when we landed. The to-
tai distance over the route followed
is 224 miles. making an average We
locity of $50 miles an hour. The total
time in air was four hours and % min
utes.
Minor repairs were made March
20, 1918, and it was intended to start
back March 80. when weather condi-
tions were unusually good, but the
preliminary trial fight demonstrated
the weakness of one skid and the re-
turn was postponed until March 81.
The start was made on this date at
1929 p. m. in a south-southeast wind
of 20 miles an hour, which afterward
shifted into south. The route follow
ed was the same as in going ever and
the landing was made at Texas CitV at
SIT p. m. The total tome in air was
three hours and 81 minutes; the av-
erage velocity, Sc miles per hour
The return trip demonstrated anew
the necessity for having excess power.
cur specifications seem severe and
would insure sufficient ROVER under
ideal weather conditions, but with a
heavily laden macb,he and rough
weather-the conditions = we might
normally find ir war-the present ex-
cess OF power is sufficient. Though
constantly endeavoring TO climb, so
much power was used in fighting gusts
and down trends that an altitude OF
1900 feet was not gotten until prac-
tically the end of the trip"

Thoroughly cowed, he agreed.
Seeing. however. that she had car

was taking her seriously, she made
use of bright idea.
