Indications this morning were that
the flight would not be after pied

make a trial flight in his Martinsyde

the weather permits.
'We are not downhearted." declared
Captain Fem, of the Sopwith air

Lieut. Mckenzie Grieve, his navigator.
were confident and eager to be off,
but they would not discuss their hopes
or plans.
A heavy wind prevented any aerial
operations yesterday. The aviators
spert most of the day indoors. Work
men were the only persons to visit
the hangers of the planes which will
attempt the big flight. A northeast
wind has packed an arctic ice floe

The contest between Hawker and
