ACROSS ATLANTIC

FIRST NONSTOP FLIGHT
ACROSS ATLANTIC.

Adventures Amazing and Hazard

1t Is the Best Route.

London.-The final goal of all the
ambitions which flying men have ven
tured to dream since the Wright Bros.
first rose from the earth in a heavier
than-air machine was realized Sunday
morning when the young British Off
Ger, Captain John Alcock, and Lieuten-
ant Arthur Brown, landed on the Irish
coast after the first nonstop flight
across the Atlantic.
D.. Their voyage was without accident.
1t was straightaway, clean cut flight,
achieved in 16 hours and IL minutes,
from St. Johns, N. F., to Cifden, Ire
land, more than 1900 miles.
But the brief and modest descrip-
ton which comes from the airmen at
Clifden tells of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the north Atlantic
and the Vickers-Vimy biplane climbed
and dove, struggling to extricate her.
self from the folds of the airplane's
worst enemy.
She rose to 1900 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface OF the sea
and at times the two navigators found
themselves flying upside down only 10
feet above the water.
Mists robbed the night of the advan.
tage of the full moon and the wireless
apparatus was torn away by the wind
soon after the start. So the two young
pioneers of the Atlantic flight without
a stop were thrown upon their own re
sources. The skilful navigation which
brought the machine near to the cen
ter of the Irish coast line was one Of
the finest features of the flight.
Landed in Bog.

spot. But no suitable ground wa
found, so he CHANGED it in a bog.
The wireless staff rushed to the ali
of the aviators. They found Brow

ed by the force of the impact. A
soon as they were able to be escorte
to the wireless station they telegraph
