STORY OF BREMEN'S
FLIGHT is DRAMATIC

: FLIGHT is DRAMATIC
: New York, April 18.-tR-Frag
mentary details from the froze
north, pieced together today, re
vealed dramatic story Of tn
/. transatlantic plane Bremen success
fully cropping blind through fog AM
blizzard for the continent OF it
destination.
An suspicious start developed a
the end into battle with the ele
ments as the flyers were some 4O(
miles off their course, due partly t.
the failure of the planes lighting
system. For hours the flight was
blind. Once the plane was 80 feet
from the water. A strange river
was seen, then mountain. At last
was sighted what appeared to be q
sealing steamer. 1t proved to be
the lighthouse on Greenly Island.
After daring take off shortly
after midnight, eastern standard
time, last Thursday, through q
breach in q stone wall, the plane
was going strong, two hours later
well over the Atlantic, having passed
over Costello, Cal .ay, at 2:O5 a. m.
Foggy weather prevailed along the
coast because of the heat.
Soon, however, the plane ran into
clear weather over the Atlantic. All
Thursday during the daylight hours
the plane travelled westward rapid.
~.
Runs Into Blizzard
That night, however, a blizzard
swept the ocean. The plane lost
altitude in the storm conditions and
it was flying very low.
The lighting system failed during
the night. The flyers were unable
to read their instruments and Cap
tain Koehl's long experience in night
flying in Germany stood them in
good stead.
Daybreak gave them opportunity
to correct their direction. The
weather, however, became worse and
worse and it was only with great
difficulty that the plane could be
kept up.
Off the coast Of Newfoundland
they struck a heavy fog and began
to wander. They tried to fly above
it, but at 1000 feet the fog still en-
veloped them. They descended to
within so feet of the waves but had
to climb upward again because of
the high seas running and threaten
ing to engulf them.
Then they saw land. It was q
wooded country and they flew over
it trying in vain to locate their posi-
ton. Next they flew over q large
river which they could not identify.
A large mountain loomed in their
path. Again the Bremen headed
upward and over it.
Fuel Supply Low
The fuel was rapidly running
low and the country over which
they were flying offered no oppor-
tunity for a forced landing which
would probably have pro ,ed fatal.
Baron Won Huenefeld was cold and
exhausted.
Finally, as despair grew, they
saw what they took to be q sealing
steamer frozen in the ice. It was
the lighthouse on Greenly Island.
They did not know where they were,
for their log bearings and compass
were inaccurate.
There was small pone; On the
island and, although the Bremen
was without skids for a landing on
ice, ,hey descended. TIE
broke through the ice. The metal
propeller was bent, the axle Of the
landing gear broken.
THANK God" said the FL. s
they climbed from the plane having
accomplished the + rst westward
nonstop airplane flight across The
Atlantic. It was noon. Friday, April
