To Be Lost AT Sea

Harry G. Hauker. the Australian
aviator, and Commander Grieve, who
started to make their nonstop flight
from st. Johns, N. f., to England,
Sunday evening, encountered bad
weather and are thought to be lost,
No word has been heard from them
and they are long overdue.
All communication centers In Lon
don are silent as to news from Hawk
er and Lieut.. Commander GrIeve.
Even rumors which prevailed yester-
day and last night have died out.
The opinion is held in admiralty
circles that Hawker came to grief
soon after he started.
1t is pointed out the aviator almost
certainly would have sent a farewell
message before getting out Of radio
range had the accident not befallen
him in the meantime

NAVY AIRSHIP
REACHES AZORES
NC-4 Now ON Way to Lisbon, Other
Planes Forced Out Of Race on
Account Of Damaged Ships

To Lieutenant Commander Read.
commanding the NC-4, goes the honor
OF having made without interruption
the most daring journey ever attempt
ed in an airship OF any kind. Rising
from dinner. Friday evening. in the
wardroom OF the m~ine-layer Aroos-
took. at Trepassey Bay, N. F., he and
his men b~reakfasted soon after Q
o'clock Saturday morning. abroad the
cruiser Columbia, at Horta. But for
the fog that clamped down on the
NC-4 as It sighted Pico Heights across
from Horta, they would have boarded
the U. s. s. Melville before noon Set
urday and been ready to Jump again
tomorrow-this time for Lisbon, the
city making the end Of the actual
flight over the Atlantic.
Acting secretary Roosevelt sent con-
gratulations to Commander Read,
Saturday. when 1t appeared certain
the NC-1 and NC-3 had been indie
finitely held up by the fog. The
NC-4 averaged ninety miles per hour
to Horta bay. and according to Lieu
tenants Commander Read, made the
flight in Is hours and Is minutes.
The three American seaplanes for 0
considerable time after their start
from Trespassey few virtually togeth'
err, but finally the NC-4 drew ahead.
Commander Read looked to be II
splendid condition on his arrival
When about 200 miles from Corvo Is
land he said he met bad weather ant
fog. This continued to the end. Hi
plane few at an altitude OF 1900 feet
then was compelled to come dow
close to the water owing to the fog.
There was no mishap or untowar
occurrence during the passage, an
the NC-4 was found to be in perfec
conditions.
The members of the crew had n
sleep, but nourished themselves fairl
well on sandwiches. The men wer
all fit and anxious to continue thei
voyage to Europe.
The planes NC-1 and NC-3 were los
for some time In a dense fog. Tn
crew OF the mel was finally picke'
up by the steamer Ionia, on Saturday
after they had been tossed about Il
the water for five hours.
The NC-3 was lost for sixty hours
but after weathering a sixty mile gal
and heavy seas, on Monday, the NC
entered Ponta Delgada harbor undo
her own power. Both the NC-1 an
NC-3 were so badly damaged that 1
was necessary for them to d~iscontinu
the flight.
The NC-4 resumed it's fight OF
Tuesday. and arrived at Ponta Del
gada at 1924 a. m. From this poin
the plane will continue to Lisbon. ant
then to Plymouth, England, accordinI
to the original plans.
