"Evermay," the beautiful colonial

extraordinary Scotchman, who was

BRITISH AVIATOR
At FORD AIRPORT
Giles 10 Try Overseas Hops
TO New Zealand

Detroit, Aug IS Up - Captain
who intends to fly his Hess Bluebird
biplane by series of overland and
overseas hops to Wellington, New
Zealand, plans to take off from tho
Ford airport at 1880 O'Clock this
afternoon for Chicago. From Chi
cago Captain Giles plans to make
the flight to the coast in easy jumps
to Omaha. Neb., Cheyenne. Wyo..
Salt Lake City, Utah and then to
San Francisco.
Severe tests of the machine dur
ing the past Sc hours. Captain Giles
perfect shape for the gruelling flight
of approximately 1000 miles. His
longest jump will be from Honolulu
TO Brisbane, Australia, a distance of
400 miles.
Preceded by six planes of the first
pursuit squadron Captain Giles took
off from Selfridge field Tuesday but
was forced back by an imperfectly
timed motor.
The aviator had registered for
entry in the Dole fight but last min
ute tests and changes in the plane
caused the delay in his departure.
With the Dole flight now a matter
of history Captain Giles abandoned
his original intention of taking the
loo mile flight to San Francisco
without stop.

navigation tests for the Dole en-
trants, made the following state
ment concerning the missing
planes:
Il am of the opinion that the
Mildred Doran plane was forced
down by engine trouble. Pedlar. the
pilot, on his return to the field.
was warned against taking off
again since I did not believe that
changing the spark plugs would
rectify the motor trouble which
forced him back. l believe he ex-
perienced the same motor trouble
that forced the Oklahoma out of
the race.
Il am at a loss to explain the
non-arrival of the Golden Eagle
since this plane was probably the
best equipped in the race.
1T is unfortunate that Miss
Doran attempted the flight but
since she was determined to go
nothing could be done to prevent
it. Both knope and Scott are good
navigators and could put their
ships in Honolulu barring any ac-
cident.
Both planes are provided with
rubber life RATS, three days emer-
gency rations. smoke bombs and
flares to attract attention.

OLD GLORY awaits
BETTER WEATHER
Faulty Landing Gear Holds
Wednesdays Hop-OH

New York. Aug. IS P-Only a
favorable break" in the wind was
awaited by Lloyd ". Bertaud to
start the monoplane Old Glory on
its projected 1890 mile nonstop
flight to Rome late today, after a
faulty landing gear bearing held the
giant craft to earth yesterday.
Engineers and mechanics worked
on the defective bearing during the
night so that only loading would be
necessary as soon as the weather
man gave the word.
I'VE will so if We get a strong
favoring west wind" Betraud said.
II don't think we have to be par
ticularly concerned about rain
squalls. 1t looks pretty good"
Bertaud said if conditions are ia
vorable the start would be made at
5 o'clock. Should another postpone
ment be necessary the start Will be
set for the same hour tomorrow.
Indications were that Bertaud
navigator and co-pilot, and James
D. Hill, pilot, would have favorable
weather on most of their trip across
the Atlantic. The worst condition re-
ported was that of rain squalls IN
Newfoundland. at the first turn OF
the course plotted for the flight.
The route, Bertaud announced
would be an air line to Halifax, then
to S. Johns, n. T., and from their
straight across the Atlantic to Bor-
deaux, France, and on to Rome. In
this way, the flier said. he would
be able to avoid Ireland where
low pressure area was reported.

Beacon Shut Down

Honolulu, Aug. II Pl-The signal
corps office at Fort Shafter an
nounced that it had recommended
that the Maui radio beacon shut
down at p. m. in order not to in
terfere with plans for possible res
cue of the two missing Dole avia-
tors.
This action was taken in view of
the fact that Pilot J. H. Pedlar's
plane, the Miss Doran, does not car
~ a receiving radio set. and Jack
Frost in the Golden Eagle appar-
entity is lost.
Admiral Mcdonald ordered the
Holland, the Ortolan and 10 sub
marines between Oahu and Hilo to
proceed in network formation east
ward in search Of the missing
planes. He also ordered the mine
sweeper Sunnadin to steam in
search of the planes.
Motor Bad at Start
Miss Dorans plane went into the
race after it was forced back to
the Oakland airport from it's first
start in the Dole derby on Tuesday
on account of engine trouble and
went out again despite the warning
OF Lieut. Ben. Wyatt, navigation Of
ficer, who had inspected all entrants
in the aerial contest.
But Miss Doran was adamant in
her refusal to remain behind in the
race and Joined with Pedlar and
Knope in a second start down the
runway and off through the Golden
Gate.
Today all the modern agencies of
communication were thrown into
full play in search for the missing
planes, neither of which carried
radio sending sets.

Sinking In Sea Possible
The fate Of the Miss Doran was
cause for greatest anxiety owing to
the fear it may have been forced
down soon after it left the starting
point and dumped into the sea with
a ton of gasoline in the tanks. The
possibilities of a smashup and quick
sinking doomed large in this picture.

more hopeful prospect. 1t was sent
