flight by way OF the Azores.
Mechanics overhauled the y. ca,
which arrived from Halifax last night.
and it was hoped she would be ready
to join the other planes.
Rough weather outside the harbor
which drenehed the crews caused them
to abandon the attempt to hop or
for the Azores yesterday after they
had actually got under way, according
to Commander John H. Towers. chief
Of the expedition.
Commander Towers also explained
that the n. Ca arrived and he de-
cided to postpone starting in the hope
that all three OF the planes might at
tempt the fight together.
Weather prospects early today were
favorable and work OF overhauling the
n. CA was progressing so that it was
almost certain that the three entries of
the United States navy for first honors
in crossing the Atlantic would make
another start toward evening.

Towers stated that the y. C.-l and n.
C.-S got little too far out in the
harbor, and AIDED that he thought they
would have made good start II they
had attempted to rise nearer shore.
Commander Towers denied that the
n. C.-3 had been damaged and said
that she was towed in by a motor boat
TO save her engines for another try
, today.
Arrival Of N. Ca.
The y. CA alighted in the harbor

on the journey for two hours and

alight eighteen miles from Halifax. one

The n. ca maintained an averas
attitude Of 200 feet during her fight.
Mechanics who worked all night on
the n. CA were still busy this morn
ing trying to have the plane in readi-
ness to start for the Azores this after
noon with the n. C.-l and n. C.-3.
Commander Towers is anxious to
have all three planes attempt the
ocean cruise and was enthusiastic
over the speed records of the y. CA

As q result Of the failure Of the n.
c. ANA y. C.-3 to take the air when
they got under way for the Azores yes
terday, it was explained that the take
off, today would be attempted inside
the harbor. The rough seas at the
mouth of the bay washed over the
heavily laden planes. chilling the avia-
tors to the bone and threatening to
play havoc with the steering apparatus.
Coastwise weather today was favor
