lish could paint a more vivid !
In 1t Is described the feelings .,
men starting on a great adventure
checrlully confident m the face Of 4
hundred dangers In It is described
the courage OF red-hloodcd men fight
ing their way through an ocean OF
cloud and fog. In il IS described a
resolute daring u men calculating
coolly just how much fuel, already
greatly shortened, they could expend
in lodging ,empcs,S which might dash
them 10 destruction. In IT is de
scrlbed the fighting spirit OF aerial
adventures, combating TO the last a
situation which nigh, force them to
call for assistance. But nothing is
to be found in the log OF the great JOY
that must have Surged up IN every
mans heart when they dropped anchor
victoriously--Saic at the end OF a
$500 voyage.
Lonely Night Flying.
when ilying n night there is al
wayS a feeling Of loneliness on lcay-
ing the ground" reads an entry made
after the airshp hardly had taken the
air but it IS followed almost imme-
diately by a description Of the first
breakfast in the air, which ends:
In the adjoining compartment the
graphophone was entertaining the
crews with the latest jazz tune. Mex,
comes an account OF sleeping in ham
mocks aboard a service airshlp with a
word OF caution for the uuwary
sleeDer
There is only thin outer cover
Of fabric on the unders sidt OF the keel
on each side OF tive walking way and
the lucklcss individual who slips out
Of his hammock would in all prob
ability break right through this and
soon find himself in the Atlantic"
There follows 4 series of word pic
tures of cloud formations, showing
that. as IN the case OF Alcock and
Brown, the R.A was at times floating
between two layers; OF wireless mes
,tges breaking through these cloul
banks to bring cheer to the adycn
turers; Of meals cooked over exhaust
pipes and engine repairs made with
chewing gum, OF the discovery of
feline Stowaway smucgcd aboard By
superStituous member OF the crew
and then the sighting OF ice fields
and Newfoundland with terse obscr-
vations on aerial navigation.
Petrol Supply Low.
Instead Of finding expressed at this
point eXuhcrencc OF captain and crew
Il is remarked that the armen think
they would like to stop at Newiound
land and Nova Scotia some time for
shooting ard fishing, as the forests
and lakes viewed from the air hold
promise of much game and fish. Then
comes a more anxious entry. "Ihe
petrol question is becoming decidedly
serious"
And again "ior some little time
past there has been distinct evidences
OF electrical Disturbances"
