AL|GHT ON HER LAST
LEG OF VOYAGE
Commander Read Wires Back That He
Cannot Make Plymouth Tonight
But Is Compelled to Land.

London, May 30.-The following
wireless was received today from
Lieutenant Commander A. c. Read:
"NC-4 at Mondego River GOO miles
north of Lisbon. Must await high
tide. Seaplane X. Cannot make
Plymouth tonight"
Reads message contained nothing
to indicate the plane had met serious
trouble.
Reads message, announcing the
descent at the Mondego River, asked
that the destroyers maintain their po-
sitions and inquired which was the
best port within 300 miles.
Washington, May 30.-Commander
A. c. Read in the Navy-Curtiss sea-
plane NC-4, pioneer trans-ocean fly
ing boat, is on his way to Plymouth,
England, completing the last leg of his
overseas flight.
He left Lisbon at 5:24, G. M. T. this
morning according to delayed des-
patches to the Navy Department from
Admiral Knapp at London and from
Lisbon.
A later and garbed despatch report
ed the NC-4 safely passed Station
Ship.
The Lisbon-P Plymouth leg is about
725 miles and If Read is able to main
tain a speed equal to that on previous
stretches of his journey he should
reach his British Isles objective about
10 a. m.
Owing to unfavorable means of
communication between Plymouth and
Washington, navy officials here anti
cipated delay in announcement OF
Reads safe arrival.
Plymouth, England, May 3O-Leav-
ing Lisbon at $40 this morning en-
route to Plymouth, the American
transatlantic seaplane NC-4 passed
the first destroyer station at 9:O2, ac-
cording to dispatches received here.
The big seaplane was expected to
reach Plymouth early this afternoon.
The moment she gets in wireless
communication with this port, three
seaplanes are scheduled to fly sea-
ward to meet her and salute her. They
will escort her to Plymouth Harbor,
where Lieutenant Commander A. c.
Read and his crew will be transferred
to the U. S. S. Rochester for the night.
Tomorrow at II a. m, according to
he program, they will land in Eng
land, the mayor and high British navy
officers greeting them.
Their stay in England probably will
be short, as Read and his men soon
will present before the Aviation Con-
gress in Paris the data gathered on
their transatlantic flight
