Lisbon, May 29.-Thc achievement
OF the first transatlantic air fight,
with Lisbon as the first European stop
ping point, aroused the enthusiasm of
the Portuguese as no event has stirred
them for many years.
When the American seaplane NC-4
came over the Tagus river, the popu-
lace, crowding all places of vantage,
gave full expression to their enthus-
iasm by cheers of welcome, the BOOM
ing of guns and the ringing of bells
For days the people of Lisbon had
been awaiting the completion of this
voyage over the Atlantic, and though
disappointed from day to day because
of the inability of Commander Reads
craft to continue it's flight from the
Azores because of unfavorable wealth
er, each day they looked hopefully
towards the West for the coming of
the Americans. Now they are able to
say that they never doubted that the
NC-4 would wind its way safely across
the intervening 500 miles of water.
The whole city was en- fete and
virtually all business was abandoned
by those who crowded everywhere to
witness the arrival

American Craft Is First AirShip OF
Any Kind to Fly Across
Atlantic.
GOING ON TO PLYMOUTH
Lieut.. Com. Albert C.. Read and Party
Make Last Leg of the Journey
From the Azores to Portugal
in 9 Hours and az Minutes.

Lisbon, May 29.-The Ameri-
cans who flew across the Atlantic
are ready for the hop of more than
700 miles from Lisbon to Plymouth,
England. This jump will complete
their historic air voyage, which
started from Rockaways Beach,
NJ Y.
Washington, May 29.-The United
States navy seaplane NC-4, blazing
the way of the first air trail from the
Western to the Eastern hemisphere,
under Lieut.. Com. Albert C. Read,
swept into the harbor at Lisbon,
Portugal. 1t was the first airship of
its own power.
Taking the air at Ponta Delgada,
Azores, at 6:1S a. m, Washington
time, on the last leg of the trans.
oceanic portion of the voyage from
Rockaway Beach, Long Island, to
Plymouth, England, the NC-4 covered
the 500 miles in 8 hours and AZ min
utes, maintaining an average speed of
better than so knots an hour The to-
tai elapsed flying time from Newfound-
land to Lisbon was 26 hours and Al
minutes.
AT the first opportunity, the big
plane will continue to Plymouth, 775
nautical miles to the north.
The great object of all effort Iavished
on the undertaking-nav of a
seaplane across the Atlantic through
the air-has been accomplished. Twen-
tieth Century transportation has
reached new pinnacle and the Unit
ed States navy has led the way.
Plans Work Out Like a Machine.
Naval officials emphasized that the
long delay at the Azores was due to
the weather and to no weakness of
to any failure of the carefully laid
plans of the department to guide the
fiiers TO their destination. The Ia de-
stroyers strung from Ponta Delgada to
Lisbon reported with machine-like pre-
cision today as the flight progressed.
The plane never was off its course and
there was no moment when officials in
Washington did not know to within a
few miles where it was in the air.
To maintain adequate commuaica-
tion for this stage of the journey the
| destroyers stuck to their posts after
the flying boat had passed, relaying
back to Ponta Delgada reports from
| ships further eastward. The chain
was not broken until after the plane
was moored for the night near the
cruiser Rochester at Lisbon.
Destroyers Ready With Flares.
The destroyers that will guide them
| across the bay already are i'm posi-.
ton, provided with the flares and
bombs that have made the trip safe
thus far-except for the fog that
| forced the other two machines of the
seaplane division, the NC-1 and NC-3
out of the flight after they had safely
negotiated virtually the entire distance
from Newfoundland to the Azores.
| Commander Read had with him in
the flight to Lisbon the same crew as
that which left Newfoundland on the
NC-4 on May 16. Lieuts. e. F. Stones
of the coast guard and w. X. Hinton
were the pilots, with Ensign r. c.
Rodd as radio operator and Chief Ma
chinist's Mate e. S. Rhodes as reserve
pilot engineer. The crew was met al
Lisbon by most of the members of the
crews of the NC-1 and NC-3, who had
preceded them on destroyer.
