Then, at my request. the captain of
the Fruitera took us in tow and took
us UP TO a point about half mile to
windward of the Warrior, where we
cast off, figuring that from that point
we could set ourselves alongside. We
miscalculated the first time, and
though my men rowed until their
tongues hung out we were swept past

make out the crew and the ladies'

NAVY AVIATOR

FLYING ACROSS THE ATTAIN

MAKER

Lieut.. Jack Towers, head { { the Pen

where lie IS to confer with Rodman
Wanamaker regarding a fight across
the Atlantic in an aeroplane. The
New York Herald contains the follow
ing regarding the lieutenant and the
proposed fight:

Lieutenant Towers came to this city
yesterday from Pensacola, Fla. where
he is stationed as the head Of the navy
aviation school recently established at
that port. He is on leave Of absence,
but has a semi official mission to in
qulre into the Wanamaker-C urtiss
project and to report 10 MS superiors.
On this account he made 1t plain that
he was not at liberty to discuss their
undertaking, and in addition said that
he had rot seen Mr.. Eanamaker nor
been Informed as to its details.
ON tile general subject of flying
above rhe sea, however, Lieutenant
Towers was willing to answer ques-
lions. jIe is one of the most expert
enced pilots in water flying, and holds
the hydro-aeroplane endurance record
Of six hours ten minutes.
when asked how the drift Of ma
chine from It's course while out of
sight of land could he determined,
Lieutenant Towers said:
