Message Is Greeted With
Chorus of Sirens and
Bells at AzOres Port

PONTA DELGADA, May 81 (By The
Associated Press) The naval sea-
plane NC-4, which left here at 6:18
(New York time) this morning, has
won for America the honor of the first
successful flight across the Atlantic
ocean.
News of its arrival in Lisbon was
given to the inhabitants here by Flo
tilla Commander Workman. 10 him
it came in a wirelss message relayed
from the victorious seaplane by The
bridge of dcstroyers that spanned III
500 miles of ocean between the Azores
and Portugal. This message read:
eve are safely on the other side of
the pond. Crew all we'll"
That was all Following it came
more details of the last leg of the
fight across the ocean. These told
how splenddly the four Liberty en-
They told, too, how the people Of an
cient Lisbon lined the banks Of the
historic Tagus and cheered the giant
sesplane as it finally settled upon the
river, how sirens shrieked and bells
were rung in celebration of the re-
markable victory.
The moment the news was received
Admiral Jackson, ranking naval officer
here, ordered all the warcraft in the
harbor to blow their sirens and fog
horns. The terrible noise was kept up
for fully five minutes, while the Off
GERS and seamen aboard joined their
voices in the bedlam of noise.
The crew of the seaplane, which was
the same as that which made the me-
morable fight from Newfoundland to
the Azores, boarded the plane for the
start an hour before sunrise, but it
was not until several hours later that
the giant machine TAXED outside the
breakwater, headed to windward and
rose gracefully into the air Trouble
with one of the motors caused the early
delay The plane circled the harbor
and then headed for her destination
amid cheers from the sailors and SOL
diers who lined the decks of the ships
in the harbor and the crowds on the
piers, together with the shreks of
whistles from all the steam craft with
in sight.
The din of the salute was kept up
for several moments, the plane mean
while speeding on her way and slowly
disappearing in the bright eastern sky.
After its start the seaplane sent q
wireless message to Admiral Jackson,
which read:
eve seem to be on our way. Many
thanks for your hospitality"

it was only her lower elevator was
damaged.
From her more unfortunate sister
ship--the NC-2-this deficiency was
made good and the ship was completed
ready for the flight only few hours
before the time set. Then the flight
was delayed for forty ight hours by
unfavorable weather.
Second Accident Occurs
On the eve of the actual start for
Halifax-first leg of the transoceanic
fight-the NC-4 figured in another ac-
cident that resulted in her being named
"the hoodoo of the Nancies." This was
the accident that eliminated her en-
gineer, Chief Special Mechanic E. H.
Howard, from the flight and cost him
his right hand. Howard had been work
ing on the NC boats ever since the
NC-1 had been delivered to the navy,
last Novemer. He was an expert on
Liberty engines and had flown in
every type of naval craft equipped with
them.
Then came the start from Rockaway
of the most remarkably planned flight
in history, on May 8. The NC-4, to-
gether with her sister ships, the NC3
and the NC1, left the naval air station
under perfect conditions.
For three hours and twenty minutes
all went we'll with the three ships.
Then in crept the "hoodoo" that still
hung on the tail of the NC-4. A faulty
oil pump brought her engines to halt
and she was compelled to land upon the
surface of the sea. Even her wireless
failed to function, and for whole

night before the famous seaplane
started from Rockaway. The chance
came to him through the unfortunate
accident that cost Chief Special Me-
chanic T. H. Howard his right hand.
Howard, who had been working on
the planes ever since the first one was
completed, was adjusting the small
dynamo propeller underneath the rear
Liberty engine of the NC-4. Just as
he reached up, the revolving propeller
struck his wrist and severed it COM
pletely, eliminating him from the mo-
mentous fight at the eleventh hour.
Rhoads was then chosen to take his
place.
Rhoads is serving his second enlist
ment IN the navy. He originally en-
listed as a coal passer, and is known
as one OF the best enginemen in the
navy. He is % years old, and his home
is at Somerset, Penn.

by unfaovrable weather. In the mean
time Commander John H. Towers, ad-
lniral of the transatlantic seaplane di-
vision, had given up hope of the NC-4
arriving in time, and ordered the flight
to begin with the other two ships.
On May Is the NC-4 started from
Halifax for Trepassey. Before she had
completed the flight the NC-1 and NC-2
had actually started on the trans
oceanic flight.
From this moment, however, the i'll
luck which had beset the NC-4 com
pletcly deserted her and descended
upon her two sisters. From this mo-
ment every decision made by her COM
mander proved to be correct, and the
remainder Of the fight was made in
record time against adverse weather
conditions.
