the latter were cut down by the rain.
Some attendants upon the enter

this years program and programs of
the past year, and satisfaction was cr-
pressed by the large number Of peo-
pie who signed the contract for it's re-

Washington, May 17.-One of the
three American naval seaplanes which
set out last evening from New Found
land in the first attempt at a flight
across the Atlantic ocean still was
missing late tonight; the crew Of an
other has been taken off by a vessel
200 miles from the island Of Fayal,
Azores, and the third was safe at
Horta, Fayal, after establishing a
record flight for heavier than air ma
chimes.
The missing plane Is the NC-3,
flagship Of Commander John Henry
Towers, commander Of the squadron,
but the fact that the last report
came from her at 5:15 o'clock this
morning, Washington time, did not
cause naval officials to entertain any
apprehension for the safety Of Com
mander Towers and his crew OF four.
The .as' message from this ship
showed her off her course in a fog
some 900 miles from Fayal and naval
officials believe 1t was only the mist
bank which cnveioped the sea around
the AZORES throughout the day that
prevented all three of the planes
from reaching port on or ahead Of
schedule time.
Lieut.. Commander patrick N. T.
Ballenger's ship, the NC-1, also lost
her way in the fog and was forced
to descend at 11:40 a. m, Washington
time. She sent an S. o. s. call stat
ing that she was landing and
asking for her position. Four de-
stroyers were dispatched to her as
sistance and the crew was taken off
and the plane taken In tow.
The one plane to reach port was
the NC-4. which led her sister ships
practically all the way and descend
cd into Horta harbor at 9:20 o'clock
Washington time.
Both Of the fog bound planes were
believed to have sufficient fuel to car.
ry them to the Azores. but the fog
undoubtedly prevented them from
continuing the trip in the air.
To Licutn Commander Read, com
mandng the NC-4 goes tho honor Of
having made without interruption
the most daring journey ever at
tempted in an airship Of any kind.
Rising from dinner last night in the
ward room OF the mine layer Aris-
took at Trepassey Bay, N. f., he and
his men brcakfasted soon after 9
o'clock this morning aboard the
cruiser Columbia at Horta.
The story Of the long fight as
told by the radio waves that filled
the air over the north Atlantic last
night to be gathered in by the navy
department from many quarters,
shows that Commander Reads hard
luck Of preceding legs Of the trans
Atlantic flight appears to have turn
ed from the start. He led all the way
after rising at Tropassey Bay only to
come down again to give his com
manding officer, Commander Towers
the honor OF starting first The
NC-d was nearly 30 minutes ahead
OF the NC-1 just before Commander
Read sighted land at the Azores and
the flagship, the NC-3 Jagged still
farther behind.
That 80 minutes, officers believed
saved the NC-t from the fog. BY

virtue OF that narrow lead, he seems
to have slipped through to mornings
in Horta harbor, only to have the
fog pail rolled down heavily behind
him, barring the way for his adven-
turous companions on the history
making voyage. Commander Bellin-
ger was caught with land also under
his eyes, but Commander Towers was
blanketed we'll out to sea, showing
ID with which the fog bank
