who essayed a flight across the
Atlantic ocean, are now safe and
being given tremendous ovations
in England.
The daring aviators left St.
Johns, New Foundland, in their
two-seater Sopwith machine on
May 10th, taking a direct course
for Ireland, 1850 miles distant.
They had Travelled for 8 hours
and had covered 1850 miles of
the distance when a feed pipe
became clogged, compelling them
to descend. Fortunately, a small
bark, the Mary, happened to be
near where they landed and they
were picked up and on Monday
landed in England. Their ma
chine was lost. For nearly a
week the world had believed
them to be drowned, and their
unexpected return sent a thrill
through the hearts of men who
take pride in the endeavors of
brave men.
1t was a noble effort these two
men made. 1t failed half way,
but its heroism shines all the
more brightly for it's halfway
success in the face of almost
certain death. Even the adven-
ture of Columbus was possibly
not so splendid; for though he
did not know where he was 60
ing to land, he felt sure he had
only to keep gong to find a land
ing place. His craft was frail,
but not so frail as the Swimming
dish in which these two men
undertook, just as Columbus
undertook, to do something that
never had been done before. =.
Of course other brave men
will now attempt in rapid success
sion to fly across the ocean, and
ultimately they will succeed; bat
this first attempt, and half sue
cess, has caused the world to
gasp at human daring.
But while the British airmen
have failed, American aviators
have been successful. The At
lantic ocean was officially cross
ed in an aerial passage Tuesday,
the American navy winning the
honor. The American Naval
seaplane NC-4 accomplished the
feat by winging its way to Lis
bon Tuesday from the Azores
Islands where it had flown flom
the shores of New Found
land. The arrival of the NC-4
marks the completion of the first
transatlantic air flight in history
with the coveted honor going to
a machine designed, built and
manned by Americans. Where
as Hawker endeavored to fly
across direct from New Found
land to Ireland, a distance of
1850 miles, our American ayia-
tors broke" the trip by taking a
longer route, flying two weeks
ago from New Foundland to the
Azores, 1900 miles, and then
Tuesday going the remaining 800
miles to Lisbon. The distance
from Lisbon to Liverpool is us
miles, and the NC-4 will proba-
bly, make this additional flight
within the next day or so.
