Before the start today, however,

Transatlantic FIiers
Lost Their Bearings
While Over England

BY International News Service
LONDON, Aug. 2s,-"Anybody got
q cigarette?"
These four words, uttered almost
simultaneously and with the utmost
naivete by Edward r. Schlee and
William Brock when they landed at
Croydon Alrfield after an epochal
flight across the Atlantic from New
foundland, still rung in England's
ears today.
The successful termination Of the
first leg Of the aviators' projected
round.the-world flight, and theft
tAke-off less than % hours later for
Munich, Germany, were hailed in
aviation circles as the auspicious be-
ginning Of q feat unsurpassed in the
annals OF accommodation.
;schlee and Brock, flying their
4 Wright-motored monoplane pride
OF Detroit glided down on the
Croydon Field at 1929 o'clock Sum
day morning, just "a hours and Q
minutes after they had left Harbor
Grace, Newfoundland. on their aerial
Argosy.
Brock was the first to step from
the plane. Schlee followed him a
moment later. Then, both together:
Anybody got d ciearette9"
In D twinkling those in the ire
fnendous crowd who were near
enough to hear their modest utles-
ton dashed forward, their out
stretched hands holding packages OF
cigarettes.
.'well," said schlee, ''it's great to
think you have flown across the At.

cally all the weather conditions that

and good visibility, and the trackless
expanse OF air was dotted with rain
and sleet storms and dreaded foes
ana mfsts which made blind flying
necessary.
Brock and SchIee were lost for
three hours over England. They
sighted the coast, and then the
English Channel, but were unable
to get their bearings sufficiently
to make q Decline for Croydon.
After circling about over the coast
for some time, Schlee dropped a
scrubbed message in a paper bag
weighed with an orange. It was
picked up by small boy. The
message read:
Please write the name of the
town and the country In the sand. %
This was done. but apparently
the filters could not see the queer
inscription, for another message
was dropped. This time the coast
guard station at seaton, Devon,
hoisted British flag, and Schlee
ana Brock knew that they had
reached England. A short while
later the hum Of the planes motor
was heard over Croydon, and the
great gilded machine broke through
the clouds.
The progress Of the pride Of
Detroit" toward Croydon was q sue
cession OF mysterious disappearance
and dramatic discoveries.
Late Saturday night, the flters
were reported 400 miles west of
ireland. Then no news came until
eight o'clock Sunday morning, when
the plane was sighted over Ply.
mouth. An hour. later, Exmouth
reported that the pride Of Det.
roit" had twice passed over and
disappeared again.

who set out from lie Bourget, near
Paris, in his plane Columbia this
afternoon, landed at the Croydon
Flying Field, near London, at 4.10
o'clock. Il was not until he reached
Croydon that his destination was
known.
Levine gave the officials OF the
air depot the worst fright they have
had in long time.
When attempting to land Levine
could not shut off his motor. The
plane careened and banked badly
while the authorities stood neryously
watching It and fearing the worst.
Calls were sent out for an anibu.

got his plane settled Levine climbed
out Of the cockpit:
