the two weeks 1t had been at Scar
boro airport and the beach and de-
termined it could reach its objec-
tive with $50 gallons. Reducing the
load gave an added factor of safety
at the take-off.
Third Try
1t was the third time in six weeks
Williams and Yancey had essayed a
take-off. The other two attempts,
both Of which were unsuccessful,
were made in the Green Flash, sis
ter ship Of the Pathfinder.
On May 29 one Of the wheels Of
the Green Flash crumbled soon
after the run down the beach start
ed. The rest of the plane was not
damaged and another try was made
on June Is. On that occasion one
wheel struck soft sand, pulled the
plane into a ground loop and
smashed it almost beyond repair.

that the flight might be in the ma
ture Of a test flight es Yancey told
Ben Zebor, his mechanic, that if a
careful check of gasoline consump-
ton the first few hours showed they
were using too much fuel the plane
would be brought back.
The Pathfinder took off at $40 a..
n.
Three planes accompanied the
Pathfinder. A coast guard amphib-
ian was on the left, a small CONNER
cial plane on the right and q large
commercial amphibian close II the
rear.
The Pathfinder seemed TO be Just
able to hold a 100 foot altitude as it
passed out of sight. This was the
ceiling of the machine as computed
by williams before the take-off.
"A Days Work"
The small commercial plane re-
turned to the beach in a few min
uteS.
Yancey said they planned to land
at an airfield about Is miles south
of Rome. Il am a working man
and I am going out to do a days
work" Yancey said when newspaper
men asked him for some statement
just before the take off. Williams,
as usual, would not comment.
The Pathfinder, q Bellanca mon
oplane, powered with a Wright
motor, bears the insignia INK 3789"
in black on the tail and underneath
the left wing. The wings and tail
are painted with aluminium paint
and the fuselage is a light green
with the name Pathfinder" on both
sides.
AS the fog lifted for a moment
spectators on the beach could see
the Pathfinder and it's two accom-
panying amphibianS circle, appar-
emily in an effort to gain altitude.
Aboard the commercial amphib-
ian were a dozen persons, among
them Thea Rasche, German avi-
atriX.
Due East
The filters planned to strike al
most due east to the tip Of Cape
Sable, N. S., there to head east
south east to the Corner" a juno
ton of steamship lanes, about 1000
miles from Old Orchard.
Their course was laid along the
41st latitude, passing 100 miles north
Of the Azores and reaching the
mainland at Cape Ortegal, along the
northern tip Of Spain. They plan
ned to cross Bayonne, France, and
head across the Mediterranean,
passing over the island Of Corsica.
Harold Beedle, representative of
an oil company, who was in the
commercial plane which went four
miles with the Pathfinder, said the
plane was then at an altitude Of 500
feet and was gaining more altitude
slowly.
"She was going fine" Beedle said.
Beedle siad williams had dumped
some Of the 500 gallons Of gasoline
in the Pathfinder before the take
off. He had checked the gas con-
sumption of the motor carefully in

For Short Time

NEW ORLEANS, July 8.-(P-
The cotton market opened easy in
sympathy with relatively easy ca
bles. First trades showed loss Of 4
to 8 points and although prices rail-
lied 8 to 4 points on buying pro-
NOTED by scattered rains over the
weekend. the market weakened
again under final liquidation in ad-
vance of the official acreage re-
pert.
At the end Of the first hour Oc-
tober sold at 1906, and December
1925, or. 10 points under Saturdays
close.
The report when issued giving the
increase as 80 per cent was slightly
less than the trade expected and re-
suited in an advance Of over ST q
bale from the early low points. Oc-
tober sold up to 1888 and December
1888. The demand appeared to
have been supplied at the recovery
and the volume of business tapered
off. Near mid-session realizing de-
veloped and prices eased off 5 points
from the top.

COAST FLYERS
GOING STRONG

CULVER CITY, Cal, July 8.-(P
Confidence rode the single motor
ed biplane "Angeleno' today with
Pilots l.. w .Mandell and r. B.
Reinhart as the passing hours
brought them nearer the record Of
174 hours SO seconds for sustained
flying which they hoped to surpass.
At 12:29:30 a. m, the filters had
passed the 1877 hour mark in their
flight which started at 1880 a. m,
last Tuesday. Should they keep
their plane in the air until 2:30:29
p. m, tomorrow, they will have
shattered the mark set at Cleve-
land by Roy L. Mitchell and Byron
Newcomb last week.
Mendell and Reinhart kept their
plane droning close to the lighted
airport here. The 220 HORSEPOWER
motor was f~unctioning perfectly.
