Not only was it cold during the hours
of darkness. hut we were subjected to
q violent, prolonged rain. We got very
wet. and slept under the car, with oil
dripping on us and streams Of water
trying to creep beneath our blankets
The gray light of morning was welcome
after that confortleSS night. and. re
pairs completed, we continued on
reaching our objective in two hours.
AT San Manoel we found that most
of the baggage had gone on ahead
slowly, SO We lost no further time our
selves IN advancing We rode three
miles and made camp on the banks of
the San Manoel River. crossing over

The flight was completed in ten hours and fif- teen minutes.
 Lindbergh flew high. He encoun- tered slight headwinds and a little rain. The flyer said the air was slightly rough. but not enough to hamper his progress.
 The chain of the West Indies over which he flew appeared to be very beautiful, he said. He Saw no ob- stacle to aviation along the trail he blaxed.
 A presidential salute of Fl guns announced Lindbergh's arrival after the firing of two oannons and the ringing of church bells heralded his approach.
 But even as he appeared there was a short period of suspense as it was feared Lindbergh might find the field prepared Tor his landing un- suitable.

 One of the Virgin Island belles gave Lindbergn bouquet as he stepped from the plane. He was then welcomed by Captain Waldo Evans '. s. N., retired, governo. of the islands.
