Indy TAKES
TRIP In Sub
Lone Eagle Shows No
Signs of Nerves
On Holiday

cRIsToBAL, Canal Zone, Jan. 20.
-P1-Coi. Charles A. L~indbergh,
who has taken many celebrities for
their first ride in the air. has made
his first trip under the water.
In company with Commander
Ward Workman Of the naval base
at Coco Solo. the flyer made a trip
IN a submarine submerged in Limon
bay in $50 feet Of water.
Commander Workman did not re-
veal the flyers reaction to his new
experience, aside from saying he
was interested in undersea navi-
cation and the mechanical equip
ment Of the submarine.
Panamans remarked today that
Lindbergh has returned from his
hunting trip more afable and gra-
cious than before his rest. This was
evident when he did not seek Sc
clusion when 800 tourists, many
armed with cameras, descended upon
the submarine base while he was
visiting there. Lindbergh had been
warned in advance of their coming
but continued TO inspect the under
sea craft with no apparent signs of
nervousness in the presence of the
visitors, who stopped 20 admire him.
Gay and more talkatiye, Lind
bergh made a sightseeing trip to
the great Gatun locks of the Pana-
ma canal. He went across the dam
to the spillways. A spillway was
opened To show the flyer how it
worked and ne watched with inter
est the great quantity of water
gush through the opening and fall
20 feet from the bed on the lake.
~Lindbergh then climbed II feet to
the top Of the spillway and stood
gazing at IT,.
This promised to be a big day in
aviation for the Isthmus. Dieudon-
ne Costes and Joseph Lebrix, French
flyers, were expected here from
B%arranquilla. Colombia, about 400
miles distant. Lindbergh, who in
tends 70 hop off for Bogota, Colom-
bIs, early Friday, was understood TO
be pleased that the Frenchmen did
not venture to fly there as he likes
70 do what others do not do. Costes
and Lebrix. who are hurrying to-
wards New York, said they had no
time TO waste or bad landing fields
which are no test OF a flyers abili-
~ nor the value Of his plane. They
declared they had not been furnish
ed definite information about the
landing field At Bogato and their
" knowledge Of fogs caused them
to abandon their plan to go there.

tors, flying from B%arranquilla,
