The American naval seaplane NC
a, under Lieutenant Commander Al
bert G. Read, swept into the harbof

ferent islands in accordance with
pre-arranged plans, and unfavorable
weather conditions caused consider
able delay at some of the stopping
places. but while in motion the plane
maintained an average speed OF ou
knots an hour, and covered the dis
tance between Trepassey and LISBON
in 20 hours and minutes total
elapsed time.
The flight was made under the au-
snices and direction of the navy de.
partment, and the great object OF al
of the money, time and effort lavish,
ed on the undertaking-the naviga
ton Of seaplane across the Atlantic
through the air-has been accom-
rlished. A new means OF transpof,
tation has been devised and the
United States navy has led the way.
