London, May 26.&The Daily Mail today prints a despatch from Thuroso, Scotland, giving the simple narrative of Harry G. Hawker, the British avi- ator, regarding the unsuccessful at tempt to fly across the Atlantic made by himself and Lieutenant Commander Mckenzie Grieve.
 We had very difficult ground to rise from on the other side" said Hawker. ITO rise at all we had to run diagonally across the course
 "Once we got away we climbed we'll but about ten minutes up we passed from firm, clear weather into New foundland fog banks. We got well over these, however. and Of course at once lost sight of the sea. "The sky was quite clear for the first four hours. when the visibility be- came very bad Heavy cloud banks were encountered an dcventuallv we flew into heavy storm with rain squalls.
 At this time we were flying we'll above the clouds at a height of about 15.O00 feet
 About five and one-half hours out, owing to the choking of the filter, the | temperature of the water cooling our engines started to rise, but after com ing down several thousand feet we 1 overcame this difficulty Everything went well for another few hours, when once again the circulation system be- came choked and the temperature of 1 the water rose to the boiling point. 1 We of course realized that until the l pipe was cleared we could not rise
 much higher without using a lot o1 | motor power. When we were about ] twelve and one half hours on our way 1 the circulation system was still giving | us trouble and we realized that we | could not go on using up our motor power.
 | Then it was that we reached the l first fateful decision to plane for safe 1 ty. We changed our course and be- i gan flying diagonally across the mair l shipping route for about two and z half hours. when, to our great relief 1 we sighted Danish steamer, whicf
 proved to be the tramp. Mary. We sent up our very light distress
 signals These were answered prompt | ly and then we flew on about two mile! and landed in the water ahead of tn, | steamer.
 "The sea was exceedingly rough and despite the utmost efforts of thu 1 Danish crew it was ninety miles be.

He declared sup port of tho league plan never could be explained at home by senators from tho south. with it's negro problem, or from the west. with its Chinese and Jansnese problems.
