Others to Make Trip.

A successful fight by Hawker will
not mark the last of the transatlan-
tic attempts to be made from this
port. Vice Admiral Mark Kerr, before
returning last night to Harbor Glace
where the giant .Handley-P Page planes
are being assembled, said that his ex-
petition would make the trip in the
interest of science If denied the chance
to be the first.
Li eap'' A. a. W. a. Brown. '; composed e the
team, is due to ar
rive here during the day with Vimy
bomber. Capt. Alcott is reported to
have said that he would fly to New
York or some other American sea-
board city if Hawker succeeded in
his fight. Lieut.. Browns home is in
New York. but he Joined the British
army during the war and for the
time being is a Britisher. He has
announced his intention of applying
for papers reinstating him to Ameri-
can citizenship.
While the radius of the single-cn-
gined biplanes direct wireless COM
munication with shore was passed
after the machine had been in the
air two hours, associates here, who
held a watch party at the Mount Pearl
airdrome throughout the night, had
hoped to receive messages by relay
from ships at sea.
However, the absence Of reports
was not a cause for anxiety by the
aviators' friends, who explained that
the wireless transmitting set, never
tested IN flight, may have failed, just
as q similar set did, by burning out
during a trial trip.
