COURTNEY'S wife
TO REMAIN Home
Won't Try Atlantic Flight Be
cause Of Daughter

southampton. England. July is P)
Little four-year- Olive, with
out saying a word about it herself,
was the deciding factor that caused
Mrs. Courtney to abandon her long
dreamed of plan to accompany her
husband Captain f. r. Courtney ON
his proposed transatlantic fight.
Both Captain and Mrs. Courtney
had talked of the trip for weeks,
and at first he was inclined to have
his wife accompany him, partly
owing to her eagerness to do so,
not only for the experience, but for
the novelty of being the first woman
to make such a fight. But as the
date for the actual departure be-
gan to draw near, with Captain
Courtney working with mechanics
to get the flying machine in order,
both kept tossing the question over
their minds, what about Olive In
the event of something happenings"
So, finally, the wife said she had
given up the flight idea and he told
her he had decided likewise. for her.
although he did not want to say 1t.
So the mother and daughter will
stay behind when daddy starts on
his hop, but both will be close at
hand to bid him goodbye and good
luck for his adventure.
Captain Courtney took his flying
boat the Whale" for a second flight
over the English channel last eve-
ming, and the trip was announced a
success. 1t attained n speed Of 10
miles an hour. He told the
Associated Press correspondent after
the trip that it was a distinct i'm
provement over his first trial.
Except for the installation Of the
wireless outfit, and few minor adj
justments the plane is virtually
ready for the start, which it is hoped
will be at dawn Wednesday. A Sc
cret wireless code will be used dur
ing the flight, the description of the
progress being copyrighted to a
London newspaper.
Attention has been called to the
interesting fact that the Whale is
Captain Road Amundson's old ma
chine. It was sold to Amundsen by
Dornier and after Amundsen's sue
cessful flight. it was bought back
by the German constructor. who is
loaning it to Courtney.

But in the lowlands the water seems

The retusning refugee finds him

which before the flood was dotted
with picturesq1 farm houses. Here
and there the wreckage of a shack,

The countryside Is transformed by
the flood, stacks of debris, dead
palmettos. house roofs. furniture,
trees halted in their dash for the
sea by the barbed wire fences. En-
tire hauses stand awkwardly in the
mud where they were grounded by
the falling water.
On the higher LAM is the replant-
