intermediate stations. The list as made

3 BIG MACHINES READY

After more than twenty-four hours
of constant work by the officers, me-

ready an hour before dawn yesterday
for the flight to Halifax on the first lap

gale which whistled around the frame

The gale meant head wind practi-

which made the $40 nautical miles to
Halifax a matter of fifteen or sixteen
hours instead OF the eight and a half
originally planned on.
| This meant that II the planes started
