London, June 16.-Capt. John AL
cock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown, in
their Vickers-vimy biplane, landed at
Clifden, Ireland, completing the first
nonstop airplane flight across the At
lantic. Their trip from st. Johns, n.
F., was made in sixteen hours and
twelve minutes. The landing was
made at 8 40 o'clock, British summer
time, Sunday. In taking the ground
the machine struck heavily and the
fuselage ploughed into the sand.
Neither of the occupants was injured.
Much of the flight was made through
a fog, with an occasional drizzle. This
hampered the airmen considerably.
Captain Alcock explained the 81
lence Of his radio instrument during
the trip by saying hat the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.
I'VE were much jammed by strong
wireless signals not intended for u.s."
he added.
When word was received here of
the accident to the machine in land
ing, arrangements were made for me-
chanics to leave London Immediately
to make repairs.
Word came from Clifden that the
pilot and navigator of the biplane were
leaving for Galway, whence Lieuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
be able to fly to London in the ma
chine which made the record flight
as soon as it could be repaired. 1t
was planned to have him give an ex-
hibition over London in the machine,
If possible.
The Aero Club received a message
from Clifden not long after the trans
atlantic filters landed, signed by them,
which merely stated hat they had
completed the flight in sixteen hours
and twelve minutes. They requested
instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap
tain Alcock: Keep machine intact
until observer arrives"
The air ministry stated hat certain
marks were put on the airplane at
Newfoundland which must be Off
cially identified by a member of the
royal air force before the flight is
declared to have been officially COM
pleted. 1t was said at the ministry
hat it was probable one of its Of
ficers would leave Dublin in an air.
plane to relieve Alcock and Brown.
1t was hardly believed there that
the machine could be repaired before
several days had passed, and it was
thought both the aviators would pro-
coed to England by train. Alcock and
Brown stood the trip well.

of the Atlantic by Captain Jack AlcOck

ments made by the aviators.

KNEW THAT WOULD STOP HIM
Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ae-
quainted With the Weakness OF
His Lonq-Winded Friend.
DOoR YOUR ACD-sI0MACD

O. n. Murphy relates the story Of a
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, In
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
In sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:
Cant you stop him, Jack?"
"TTl stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
my Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument I
would like you to join me at the no
tel In a bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst of
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
And now, may 1t please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, I leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding In
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.
