RUTH ELDER SAILS
AFTER QUIET AD|EU
American Girl Flyer and
HaIdeman Start Home
Aboard the Aquitania.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHERBOURG, France, November 5.
--Intrusting themselves once more to
the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean. Ruth
Elder, the little American aviatrix,
and her co-pilot in the overseas flight,
Capt. George w. Haldeman, started
for home this evening on the scout
steamer Aquitania.
The airplane American Girl, in
which they set forth so blithely from
New York a few weeks ago, lies at the
bottom of the ocean, but both the girl
and the man, saved by a kindly fate,
have had a wonderful greeting at
Paris, where they had hoped to ar.
rive by air. Indeed, so many were the
entertainments showered upon them
that at the end they were almost ex-
hausted, and today on the trip from
Paris to Cherbourg to board the
steamer they slept most of the time.
Liner Starts Voyage.
At z o'clock this evening the Aqui.
tania pulled away for New York.
In compliance with the wishes OF
the flyers, ceremony was completely
absent at their last few hours on
European soil. They were worn out
by arrangements for their departure
and the nervous strain Of their Paris
farewell. AS they were asleep, they
were not able to receive the homage
of groups of admirers that had
gathered at way stations, and on their
arrival at Cherbourg they were
quickly taken to the blue room" in
the depot, where a quiet old home
welcome was extended by several
gray-bearded dignitaries. Champagne
was brought forth, but Ruth shocked
the hospitable committee Of Cher
bourg by insisting on tea.
Miss Elder was much interested in
examining a map of the Cherboure
flying field. saying, You never can
tell; it might come in handy"
Views of Lindberg Tablet.
After chatting with the American
consul, Samuel H. Wiley, she went to
examine the Lindbergh memorial
tablet. All the passengers were
''shooed" away, leaving her standing
pensively a few minutes under the
bronze plaque.
Their transfer from the tender to
the liner was attended by not the
slightest ceremony. Not a single of.
ficer welcomed them aboard. nor was
there a single cheer or greeting as
they made their way to their quar-
ters on the upper deck.
