And the per capita wealth of the city is
more than three times greater than that

Soap should be used very carefully,

after 1t had sent out n wireless that
engine trouble had developed was that
she had passed the destroyer MoDer-
mot, first station ship, located more
than so miles north Of Cape Cod and
less than half way to Halifax. Al
though every available naval cNRft was
making a diligent search of the sur
rounding waters, there had been TX
message clearly establishing the fact
that the flying boat had landed until
this morning.
The successful flight by the NC-l
nd NC-3 brought much satisfaction in
naval circles here and officers were
sumption of the flight today by those
machines to Trepassey, n. f., which
will be the hopping-on place for the
trip across the Atlantic.
Commander Towers, with the NC-1
and NC-3, made the trip to Halifax
In a fraction less than nine hours,
the distance on the map over the course
they took being 525 miles, These two
planes went through the test in such
fashion as to convince officers that
prospects for reaching Plymouth, Eng
land, the ultimate goal of the navy
airmen, were exceedingly bright
Each Of the three planes had a triple
radio installation when 1t left Rock
away. one set was the telephone by
which they communicated with each
other while In flight at a distance Of
a score or. more miles. Stations and
| guard ships "llstened In" on many of
| these conversations and reported them,
The second set was the regular long
| distance radio installation and the third
was the equipment for the RADIO COM
passes.
AS the planes approached one Of the
patrol vessels, long before II was
sighted, the long distance radio was
Iuzzing. Questions n answers flashed
/ back and forth, dealing to directions
for navigation Important communioa-
lions were relayed to and from the
| speeding seaplanes, some from WASH
tngton. One carried greetings to Com
mander Towers and his crews from
| Acting Secretary Roosevelt, who
watched the trip with keen interest all
day as the departments messages came
In, Another reiayed capled assurances
from London that every facility of the
British admiralty would be at the dis
| posal of the daring American airmen
when they reached the British waters.
The communication arrangements of
the nav department worked out per-
fectly. Repeated messages from Com
| mander Towers, sent from his speed
ing flagship Of the air squadron, the
| n. C.-3, reached the desks of officers
| here in q. few minutes Of the time they
we're sent, Intercepted by any OF the
| radio stations ashore or hfloat on the
chain reaching clear 10 Halifax, they
were rushed to Washington on the
! navy's leased wire.
