Conditions as reported by the sta

perfect visibility off Portland ana

fog limiting vision 10 eight miles at
St John, New Brunswick, where Bay

many perilous flights, powerless to do
anything, but relying on Smith, came
into prominence. He had to pump
gasoline from the tanks in the fusi-
lage TO the gravity tank from then
on as the carburetor must be fed
through that route. For four hours
he pumped but after the first hour his
arm was numb. =,

he said. The Lawrence was the last
ship out, although the Richmond was
to have taken d station about 80
miles from shore, but due to scarcity
of fuel oil she had to remain at Ham
ilton Inlet.
The Richmond at her anchorage
was almost surrounded by round,
ugly, rugged, brown and black
islands about 200 feet high. Over
these hills at Ill pm, resembling
two automobiles climbing to the crest
of mountain, came the familiar
sight of the seaplanes, Smith in the
lead. Out into the water and near
the Richmond they flew, and then
Smith turned to his right, having
sighted the moorings in a little blight
about a mile from the cruiser. He
throttled down his motor and dived,
the sun peeping through the gray
and black clouds long enough to play
upon the huge red pontoons and sill
ver-colored forepart of the fusilage.
At 1:1s o'clock small spray was
observed as the plane came in con-
tact with the water. Nelson, who
had climbed as Smith dived, followed

close a dramatic chapter, which be-

pecting to find Nelson badly hurt.
When they arrived they found Nelson
hard at work, in spite of his bruises
and shaking-up, repairing the dam
aged landing gear SO that there would
be no delay in the flight. 1t was this
quality in the mans makeup which
won him the admiration Of every one
with whom he came in contact.
In 1922 Nelson won the Detroit
News Aerial Mail trophy race in d
Martin bomber, averaging a speed of
ITO miles an hour. In 1923 he was
assigned as engineer officer of the
San Antonio to Porto Rico flight, the
success of which was greatly due to
his constant care of motors and
planes.
This reputation for thoroughness
and absolute reliability, as. we'll as
his marvellous understanding of mo-
tors. at last had it's reward when
Nelson was given one of the coveted
assignments on the world flight team.
The wonderful record which planes
and motors have made is a tribute
TO the man whose engineering skill
has made ii possible.
His Record as Flyer.
Lieut.. Nelson has over 1,60o flying
hours, of which more than 500 hours
have been made in cross-country
flights, over every conceivable kind of
terrain. He is a skillful pilot in ad-
dition to being motor expert.
and above all he is, to quote an Air
Service officer who knows him well
"a real man and wonderful friend

while the Reid and Billingsley took
stations along the southern coast or
Iceland. Or the afternoon of August
5 the Richmond steamed into the
outer harbor Of Reykjavik in the
teeth of a severe wind. which had
blown for several hours along the
coast. About the same time two dots
were seen close to the horizon. and
about 90 minutes later the Chicago
and New Orleans settled down in the
inner harbor.
Oil Pump Gives Trouble.
Around the coast of Iceland, a dis
tance of 339 miles through dust storm,
fog and heavy winds, Nelson almost
suffered the fate of Wade. few
minutes away from Hornafjord his oil
pressure dropped to one-half and he
kept one eye glued on that little
needle for the remainder of the flight.
1t never did rise to the proper point
and his first act in Reykjavik. Ice
land, was to haul the plane up on the
beach, install a new of pump and a
new propeller, the old one having
been found the cause of much yibra-
tion throughout the ship.
The prospects of the flyers getting
into Angmagsalik, Greenland. the
next scheduled stop, appeared du-
bious for some days after their ar
rival in Reykjavik, due to the Ice
filled harbor. The Gertrud Rask,
Danish steamer chartered by the air
service to establish a base there,
experienced great difficulty in plow-
ing through the ice, but finally the
word came through after the Raleigh
had gone to the place and inspected
the harbor with it's plane that the
flyers could land, take off with
light load and refuel at sea. All
