safely predicted today that the year
1914 will see the transatlantic air
voyage, which in spectacular daring
and world-interest excels any deed
ever undertaken by man, accomplish
ed-were it not for the ONE peril of
sleepiness!
For twenty hours the trans-At-
lantic flyer must stay wide awake.
Through all that time he must keep
every muscle active, every nerve
alert, his mind constantly concen-
trated on his compasses and mechan-
ism, making continual effort to de-
tect and adapt his plane to every lift
of the air currents. That tense men
tai activity alone would be sufficient
to produce overpowering fatigue.
But through all those endless
hours there will be humming accom-
paniment to the call of mental ia
tigue, the deadly monotonous drum
ming of the engine, beating eternally
against his ears like a seductive IuIl-
ably!
That this is the real and worst
peril, frequently felt, all birdmen will
testify. The most striking instance
of it is told by the great English avia-
tor, Claude Grahame-White.
Grahame-W White recently rose with
a passenger who proved to be insane.
The man began to struggle and kick,
and in a few moments would surely
have grappled with the pilot and cap
sized the machine. But the opiate
influence of the rush of wind and the
hum of the motor had its inevitable
effect. The mailman gradually be-
came subdued, fell asleep as heavily
as though chloroformed, and was still
in that state when the pilot descend

more like an evil siren, Turing him to
destruction, than like a gift from
heaven!
Sleep, evoked by the glare of sun
on water, by the rush of wind, by the
monotonous, rhythmic music of the
motors, may rise treacherousIy over
him, grip him in her magic spell, drug
him-bring him to his death!
1t will be a mighty fight that Lieu
tenant Porte must wage against that
fate.
In other respects he is fairly Sc
cure. The marvellous engines of his
transatlantic airboat have stood
