tlawkers Detailed Story Of Flight and Accident

Welcome and rea~rstulated him on his
rescue.
In ove.y town through which the

them. Wherever the train stopped Off
clal receptions were extended the
heroes by the Mayors and CORPORATIONS.
Asked whether he would make an
other attempt to fly across the Allan

Greater Than Royal Reception
The reception of Hawker and Grieve
at the Kings Cross station exceled in
popular demonstrations anything given
any general or member of royal fam
lily during the war.
1t was particularly an Australian oc-
caslon. There were thousands of Aus
tralian soldiers in and around the sta
ton, accompanied by their bands, as
the train pulled in. There was contin-
uous singing of "Australia viii Be
There" and the peculiar cries Of the
Australian bushmen.
The Mayor OF St. Pancras and the
councillors in their official robes and
with the huge gilt mace of the borough
officially welcomed the aviators. In the
background were many generals, mem
bers of the House of Commons and
British. French, American and other
avlatOrs.
After the reception the Austrian sol
diers lifted Hawker and Grieve on
their shoulders and carried them to
their motor cars. Hawker was plainly
nervous as he sat IN his car, dressed
in a blue suit. Beads of perspiration
were to be seen on his brow Mrs.
Haw -er and Grieve followed Hawker
IN succeeding cars.

thought we were Americans. for
he hasn't heard any news since he
left New Orleans twenty days be-
fore.
"We got quite comfortable
shakedown, some sleep and some
thing to eat at the captains mess,
for we hadn't eaten on the journey
except little chocolate, together
with coffee from thermos TASKS.
I'VE spent a very pleasant but
very slow week watching hourly for

Up to 10000 Feet
When Five Hours Out

when we were five hours out we
ascended to $4,000 feet. At this time
we were about five hundred miles
from our starting point, and we had
been making all of hundred miles
an hour since we left. A northeast
wind was blowing, giving US
southerly drift off our course. We
could have carried doubt the
amount of our petrol load, but did

again." l asked him.
"By all means" Hawker answered
emphatically.
He was dubious about having an
other try, however, owing to the
length Of time that would be re-
quired to build plane and go
through the long preparations.
May Try Again
Il may make another attempt"
Hawker continued. "Ill have to talk
the matter over with Tom Sopwith.
There are many other competitors,
particularly the French, in whom |
am much interested, although l
know little about them as yet.
I'm not worrying much about
the Australian flight just yet. The
public doesn't realize the amount of
money | have lost on this flight and
would have even if | had won the
$4,000 prize. 1t took so much of
my time when | could have been do
ing other things that it is evident
L was not trying merely for the
money prize, as one New York news
paper said before we started.''
The Chronological Story
Here is the chronologically cor
rect story of the flight just as Haw-
ker told it,
The newspapers, particularly the
American newspapers, are so mac
curate that l am going to be sure
that this one is right" Hawker said,
as he carefully verified every para
graph before putting his final O. K.
upon it. Then he began as fol
lows:
If the American naval seaplanes
had not started then we would have
waited. But with the United States
machines getting away we found
conditions good enough; we knew
we could find more favorable
weather another day, but after all
it only meant about two hours diff
ference"
Hawker put especial emphasis
upon the latter point. He explained
that the weather need never stop
/ the attempted fight, however bad or
stormy it might be, but would mere
" delay matters.
"1'll fly anything that goes--any
time" he continued. There is no
such thing as being brought down in
d storm. Grieve and l will fly in
any old weather."
Display of Excitement
He burst out into one of the few
displays Of excitement he showed.
Through the rest of the interview
he sat at his bunk, his arms clasped
around his knees and his eyes look
ing off into the distance, as if viz
ualizing once more the voyage
through the vast blue wilderness.

Distress Signals Fired

1T was the finish.
II than gave it up, and we de-
cided to fly in a zigzag course

flew first in one direction and then
in antoher until we found a ship.

ahead of the steamer to give her

the high seas. The Sopwith rode the

seated ourselves comfortably await
ing the rescuers who came-six
husky sailors in a lifeboat. This
was about $3.50 G. M. T. (4:3O a. M.

lowance to spare as it was.
"There was a fog bank all the
way. We never saw a square mile
of +vster during the whole fifteen
hours we wee flying.
"All our drift was reckoned bv
navigation. Commander Grieve was
taking all our bearings by the sun
and stars, but we had such a bad
horizon for the first five hours above
the fog banks that we were sent $50
miles off our course.
"The fog bank gradually thick
ened, and increased clouds barred
our way. We passed through occa
sional fog banks, and later lodged
others. Twelve thousand five hun
dred feet was the highest altitude we
reached during the journey. 1t did
not pay to go much higher with the
load we were carrying.

Engine Throttle Never
Open More Than Half

II never had the engine throttle
open more than half way, except
when getting off the ground and
when the crucial moment of the
flight came. We had clear blue
heavens which proved to be our SAL
walton absolutely. We had sunshine
the first part of the way, but the
horizon was bad, with rough clouds
that prevented US from getting our
bearings. 1t was not until the sun
went down that we could find out
exactly where we were. We had
drifted twelve degrees off our course,
and, while we had known we were
not right, we had not allowed suffi-
GENTLY for the drift.
1--WE saw only one ship all the
war-naturally, for we didn't see
the ocean. We saw nothing below
and everything above, and that was
what we wanted.
II first noticed trouble five and
half hours out The thermometer
suddenly went up ten degrees. l
Immediately adjusted the shields in
front of the radiator to counteract
that. This did not make any diff
ference. 1t had been closed all the
time, for the aid was cold and we

Force to Be Augmented.

The management Of the store will
be under the direction of James A.
Duffy, whose regular force Of six
salespeople will be augmented as
much as necessary by employees of
the department. This will be possi-
BILE because the greatest rush Is ex-
pected to follow the close of the
working day in the department There
will be no volunteer" labor, how
ever, as every person who works in
the store will be paid for his or her
time.
I'VE have in the quartermaster de-
partment mon and women who are
familiar with every line of trade"
said J. F. Kelley of the executive
committee. "and this will enable US
to put experts behind the counters
during the rush hours to sell groce-
ries. lingerie. shoes or whatever line
Of goods we may eventually install.
THE War Department effectually
clothed and fed some 100000 men
during the war. and the idea has oc-
,curred to us that our experience
might be turned to some account in
providing for our own needs in these
times when a government employees
salary has to cover so many increas-
