YANKEE PLANES
OFF FOR LANDS
ON OTHER SIDE

TREPASSY. n. F, May Is
After a delay Of several days here
on account of unfavorable weather
conditions, the American naval sea
planes y l and \ c began
their long flight across the Atlantic
ocean late this afternoon. headed
for the Azores islands. Each ma
chine carried three men, an extra
propeller, and repair parts for use
enroute in case Of need.
The departure Of the planes was
speeded by the fact that the de-
stroyers. which are stationed along
the route at intervals Of fifty miles,
have almost exhausted their fuel
supply as the result of the delayed
start. Il was case Of ge- away
today or wait until the patrol YES
sells had been refueled
The day opened cludy. with a
strong wind blowing ofshore, rem
dering a start this morning extreme
" hazardous. The machines were
held in readiness, however, and the
moment the sky cleared and the
storm abated sufficiently, the en-
gines were set in motion and the
long flight started.
The night flying will be assisted
by a moonlit sky. and the course
marked by the strong searchlights
Of the destroyers.
The n c 8, which was delayed at
Chatham, is now on the way 10 this
place. having reported al a point
$50 miles distant 1t is not known,
however, whether or not this plane
will attempt the transatlantic fight
The storms which have delayed
the departure of the American and
British planes sweep down from the
Arctic every three or four days,
and the beginning Of the fight, il
is explained, must be so gagged
that the machines will not overtake
one storm as it slows down before
dissipating at sea, and yet not be
caught in second squat.
