ENGLISH FLYER
H0PS0FF FROM
HARB0R GRACE
Commander Macdonald Pilot.
ing Midget Plane on Flight
to England
SUDDEN JUMP SURPRISES
Motor Has 4 Cylinders, S0.10O
Horsepower and Can Fly
for IS Hours

st. Johns, Md, Oct. 17.-(R-
Commander H. C. Macdonald, Eng
lish aviator, took off from Harbor
Grace today in q Moth-type airplane
in an attempt to fly across the At.
lantic ocean to England.
Flight Commander Macdonald ar
rived from England with his Havi-
land Gypsy Moth plane on Septem-
Der 26, with the announced inten-
tion Of attempting a transatlantic
flight from Harbor Grace.
Four days later he said he would
take off October 2, if weather con-
ditions permitted.
Macdonald, who is % years old,
came to Newfoundland about three
weeks ago and began assembling his
plane in preparation for the At
tempt. Although he said he had
only 80 hours Of flying, he was con-
fident that he could make the flight
alone in the small plane.
Waited for Hunch
Since his arrival here the young
English flyer has been awaiting IA
vorable weather conditions. He had
declared that he would not take off
until he had a "hunch" that every.
thing was right.
Macdonald said that the flight
was being financed privately. He
was assisted in preparing for the
flight by A. F. Williams, mechanic
who accompanied him from England.
The plane which he used in his
flight was but = midget compared
to Lindbergh's Spirit Of St. Louis.
Known as an aerial sports car, the
Gypsy Moth had been secretly pre-
pairing in London for many weeks
for the flight. 1t has q wing spread
of only 26 feet, and when empty
weighs less than 500 pounds.
Can Fly IS Hours
Extra fuel tanks were fitted to
the plane, giving it range Of about
IS hours, sufficient for 5000 miles
cruising. ,-.---....---s..-
His takeoff consequently came as
q surprise. His little plane left the
ground at the Harbor Grace airport
at 11:51, eastern standard time.
The plane carried 100 gallons of
fuel, which Commander Macdonald
was confident would be more than
enough to carry him to England. He
expressed confidence that his ex-
perience rs a navigator, gained dur
ing his naval career, would make it
possible for him to pick his way over
the Atlantic to his destination with
out difficulty.
Is Small Motor
The engine has only 80 to 100
horsepower, compared with Lind
bergh's $50. It is . four-cylinder
air-cooled motor. Tests have shown
that it can run without trouble for
periods Of "a hours and more.
The plane is too small for wireless
in addition to its other load, and
floats would be useless to keen so
tiny q machine afloat on the Atlantic
rollers.
Commander Macdonald IS com.
paratively . novice At plotting, al
though he is . skilled navigator.
Yet after only eight hours solo fly
ing he took q plane on . long sue
cessful flight through Europe.

En- Route with Curtis to Martins
burg, w. Va, Oct. 17.-(R-After
. day in the south Senator Charles
Curtis, the Republican vice presi-
Dental nominee, was on his way to-
day to the east, which his party re-
CARDS as the vital campaign battle
ground. He speaks this afternoon in
Martinsburg, and tonight in VIII
mington, Del.
Senator Curtis was enthusiastic
over his reception yesterday in
North Carolina and Virginia. He
was greeted by cheering crowds at
both Petersburg, Va, and Raleigh,
N. G. The huge auditorium at Ra-
leigh was we'll filled for his address
last night, and he was interrupted
frequently with applause. Words Of
praise for his longtime political foe
in the senate, Furnifold Simmons of
North Carolina, were received with
tumultuous applause. Senator Sim
mons has declared against Governor
Smith.
Curtis lashed out in both states
yesterday against the proposals Of
Governor Smith for modification Of
the prohibition and immigration
laws. In the midst Of his address
last night q heckler asked the SEN
ator: what has Coolidge done about
prohibition enforcement Z" Curtis
replied heatedly and amid an uproar
in the hall that President Coolidge
has tried to enforce the law" and
insisted that enforcement conditions
were Improving"
The Republican vice presidential
nominee asked that the questioner
be permitted to stay, when . cry
arose to "throw him out"
How would you like to have Tam
many running the liquor business Of
the country?" he asked. I'm the
state Of New York the Democratic
candidate has not turned his hand to
enforce the prohibition act for . min
ute. As governor Of the state he
signed the bill repeating the state
enforcement law, and be would have
the American people believe he
would enforce the law"
Az usual, Senator Curtis con-
cluded his address with an appeal
for the election Of Herbert Hoover,
and the North Carolina audience re-
ceived this with roars Of applause.
