NC-4 Reaches Mobile
After Seeking Safety
From Fog on Gulf Isle

3 MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 22.-The
transatlantic naval seaplane NC-4,
missing for several hours after leay-
ing Galveston, Texas, on a nonstop
fight to Mobile, arrived here at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, having
spent the night at Grand Isle, fifty
miles from New Orleans, the sea-
Plane having been forced to descend
on account of the heavy fog.
Commander A. C. Read and his
crew selected Grand Isle because
their maps showed, a town there.
The place was completely destroyed
by tidal wave in 1893 which drown
ed 900 persons, nothing remaining
now but a small fishing camp.
The commander of the trans Attain
tic craft stated he had experienced
much trouble in battling the fog
on his trip from Galveston Satur-
day afternoon, the seaplane having
to seek the surface of the water
four times because of the heavy mist
which covered the gulf. The radio
apparatus is capable of sending but
twenty miles when the craft is on
the water and no point was commu-
nicated with and none of the many
messages sent out from wireless
stations on the coast reached the
fog-marooned ship.
The officers of the craft were not
lost but feared to attempt to make
Mobile in the fog. According to
their statements on arrival here
they did not think that persons
ashore would fear for their safety
because of prevailing weather condi-
tions making it impossible to fly
their craft with safety
