After breakfast Maj. Scott told the

I'VE estimated we would make it in
from 70 to so hours" he said. We
made it in 70. When we left we had a
strong wind behind us and we covered
the first 500 miles in about eight hours.
When we circled over New York we
could plainly see the crowds on Broad
way waving to us as we passed, but we
could not heal them because OF the
noise Of the engines.
South OF Newfoundland we en-
countered head winds and our progress
from then on was slower, we traNeled
at an average height of from 5000 70
5000 feet and found much low clouds

sun, noon, stars or horizon, but we
worked out of 1t and struck the Irish
coast. We passed over the Isle of
Man about 3 o'clock Sunday morning
and then, mounting above the clouds,
witnessed a most beautiful sight,
Above was the bright moon, below
soft, fleecy clouds touched with all
the colors Of the rainbow and far down
below occasionally could be seen the
dark, deep blue Of the sea. But we
did not have time to admire the beauty
of the scene.
I'VE soon passed over Liverpool and
then other cities and towns and here
we are. We suffered nc inconvenience
except that we had no hot water for
shaving. Our eggs were cooked in the
exhaust of the engines and we had
plenty Of good food and coffee, tea
and coco to drink,

Thousands of the enemy, mother,
Dropped dead exhausted, chasing
me.
Just behind the battle, mother,
That's the safest place to be,

When the enemy approaches,
I beat it, hike and fade away,
For I'd rather be a live bum, mother,
Than a dead hero any day.
