TOWERS TELLS EXPERIENCE


 Ponta Del Gada, May 20.-"Exception- ally bad weather. which was totally un- expected. was the sole reason for the fail ure of all three of the American navy's seaplanes to fly from Trerassey. New Foundland, to Ponta Del Gada on sehed- ule time" said Commander John P. Tow CTS to the correspondent of the Associat- ed Press tonight.
 The man who commanded the overseas flight in his flagship NC-S and the mem bers of his crew who had received a se- were buffeting both from the storm over head and the turbulent sea when the plane was damaged Sunday in alighting on the water, were much refreshed to- night after having regained sleep lost while bucking the storm for sixteen hours and being adrift 5S hours or more, entire ly out of communication with the world.
 'Individually, said Commander Tow CTS, 'the members of the crew of the NC-3 virtually gave up hope of being res cued Saturday night but collectively they showed no signs Of fear and carried on uIr1 they arrived in port here Monday and heard the forts firing salvos in wei come and witnessed the scenes of general jubilation over their escape from the sea.
 SHORT OF FUEL
 Having run short of fuel and encoun- tered d ntdNN iOSs tnC MO tdiiit uOWil at one o'clock Saturday afternoon in or der that we might obtain our bearings. The plane was damaged as it reached the water and was unable to rise again. While we were drifting the 250 miles in the heavy storm the high seas washed over or pounded the plane, and the boat began to leak. So fast did the water en ter the boat that the members of the crews took turns in bailing the hull with a small hand pump. while others stood on the high wings in order to keep the plane in balance. Meanwhile, we were steering landward.
 That our radio was out of commis- sion was not known to the crew until our arrival here, Communication had been cut off since nine o'clock Monday morning owing to our having lost our ground wire.
 I've ate chocolate and drank water from our radiator This was our only means of subsistence. The crew smoked heavily in order to keep awake While we were drifting No one of us obtained more than four hours sleep after leav- ing Trepassey until Ponha Del Gada was reached
 MCULLOCH SEASICK
 The hands of all the members of the crew on the NC-3 were badly swollen as a result of their heroic work at the pump Otherwise they did not undergo any suf- fering except Lieutenant-C Me Cullough, one of the pilots, who had 2 rather severe attnck of sea sickness. The men have now fully recovered from then trying experience.
 -~t'The NC-3 encountered heavy clouds al one o'clock Saturday morning. Com mander Towers said '"rhe light instru- ments on board failed and we sailed the plane above the clouds in order to get the benefit of n moonlight reading of the instruments.
 "We kept in sight of the NC-4 until nearly daylight Saturday and with the

ing the Azores through the air The value of the design also was denton strated, they said, by the ability shown by the NC-S to ride through storm.
 It was said that the planes undoubtedly would have done much better had they been equipped with geared Liberty mo- tors, that is, motors of 800 horsepower, but with no greater weight than ths 100 horsepower engines. Engineers still are working on such motor. Another problem which experts are seeking to solve is that of gearing the propellers down when the engine is at full speed so as to get greater efficiency. This problem is similar to that which engi- Eeers faced when the turbine ship en- zine first was designed.

 Jane smiled, somewhat taken back by their breezy manner, but realizing that this must be quite the custom in New York's Bohemia Holaday led the way to corner table, through a big room crowded with odd-sized tables, a con- glomerate collection of chairs-none ap- parently like it's mate, and all painted in various hues of the rainbow.
