Immediately on receipt Of the official
dispatches announcing that the seaplanes
were on their way at last for Europe the
Navy Department sent broadcast to all
ships at sea and to the radio towers of
Europe the fact that tho aircraft had
taken wing.
The effect of n flash sent over the
whole Atlantic ocean by the Navy De-
partment announcing that the flight had
started was expected to be that radio
operators ashore and afioat would be
keyed to a high pitch and make every
possible effort to obtain and forward any
information as to the progress Of the
flight. This makes It possible that re-

wholly unexpected sources, telling Of tho

The test OF the destroyers and cable

labored. The speed with which the twen-
ty-four destroyers passed the word along
to the Melville. the seaplane tender in
Punta Delga Bay. was all that could
be desired. But the cable was slow.
The department made efforts to expedite

while a supplemental radio relay had
been arranged for II was certain to be
slow at best. and the Azores cable was
the main reliance for keeping In touch

The despatch to the Navy Depart

It by radio to st. Johns. N. F.. whence
It reached Washington by cable and tel

and that the destroyer line behind the

Each destroyer has displayed on It's

There will be no stops Of long dura-
ton during the trip from Newfoundland
to continental Europe. The 1000 mile
trip up the coast of North America was
regarded by Commander Towers and his
associates purely in the light of expert
mental flights and not as part OF the
transatlantic flight. As much speed as
can possibly be made, with as few and
as short stops as possible, will be made
until the planes reach Lisbon.
The planes, according to the plans
made last month, will fly at a height OF
from one to two thousand feet, but may
rise to 5000 feet II air currents at that
height are heading toward the Azores
