London. May 26,-The correspondent

Harry G. Hawker and Lieut.. Com
Mackenzie Grieve on their way to this
city, sends from Inverness Il detailed
account OF the difficulties encountered
hy the a!r:aen CT their unsuccessful
attempt to fly across the Atlantic.
The first four hours Of the voyage
was freezing cold but the men were
quite comfortable. Hawker. however.
was unable to steer a good course be-
cause OF the clouds. being at times
forced to go around them.
When about SEQ miles out the wealth
er continued very bad and clouds rose
to great heights. Several times Hawk
er tried to clear them but lost height
every time and each time the machine
was started to climbing the water in
the radiator boiled furiously, which in
volved waste of power. At last. how
ever, the airplane reached II 900 feet
and 1T was decided to stay at that
level.
Clouds Cause Failure.
we had not as yet doubted being
successful in getting across" Hawker
said. I'VE were above most of the
clouds. The moon had risen and We
were keeping good course. altho we
had to go a little slower and close the
throttle to keep the water from heat.

We continued at this height until
we had been in the air twelve and one
haif hours. Then came heavy clouds
again. They were very high, reach
ing $4,000 feet. and very black. II was
almost Impossible to steer thru them
and each timesI tried to climb the
water boiled badly
Hawker then described his efforts to
md the cause of the trouble with the
cooling system and said he concluded
something had got into the water filter
between the radiator and the pumps
and that the only thing to do was to
stop the motor and put the nose of the
machine down steeply, with the hope
that this might clear the filter. This
was successful
About an hour later however the
filter again gave trouble, and it was
decided to fly toward the transatlantic
steamer route. Two hours later the
Mary was sighted.
