The offer was, since there was dis

be satisfied.
Previously the committee of experts
appointed to determine the worth OF

under almost ideal weather conditions.
! No dif1culty was experienced in start
ing the motor and he TAXED down the
! Severn River nearly two miles before
attempting to take of.
! AS williams opened the throttle the
little black ship disappeared in a cloud
of spray and smoke. 1t went nearly a
mile before rising far enough on the
pontoons to throw the spray behind
rather than over the ship. 1t could be
trying desperately to get the racer into
the air.
Plane Is Endangered.
Taxing at a speed of nearly ITO miles
IN hour, the plane dragged just the
rear tips of the pontoons and at one
time bounced on the crest Of wave
and was hurled into the air six or eight
feet. Dropping back. the ship began
"porpoising." bouncing up and down
wildly on the waves. It appeared as
pletely under water before williams
could straighten 1t out.
Apparently fearing that his ship
would break up under him, unless he
could stop the pitching, williams cut
the motor as Navy speed boats hurried
towards him.
3 He was taken in tow and brought back
nearly Ave miles to Santee Wharf, where
the electrical starting apparatus for the
motor has been mounted on barge.
Preparations were made to send him on
on another attempt Immediately.
Williams was up early this morning
and reached the dock before O'Clock.
Mechanics, under direction of Chief En-
gineer John S. Kean, were at work pre-
pairing the ship for what may be the last
attempt to get it into the air prior to the
Schneider races next month.
Todsy's effort came as a complete
surprise to Williams friends. 1t was
announced late yesterday afternoon that
new pontoon parts built at Philadelphia
20 increase the safety factor Of the racer
were being sent down and would be in
stalled before another attempt was
made. Lieut.. Comdr. j. d. Poppen, Navy
Medical Corps. who Is acting as Will
liams' representative. announced that
the plane would not be flown before Fri
day.
Weather Ideal for Attempt.
Reconstruction of the pontoons was
to have begun at dawn today. Fa-
vorable weather conditions, prevailing
for the first time in two weeks. led to
the decision to make the effort with the
present pontoons. which have nearly
caused disaster on three previous at
tempts.
The buoyancy Of the twin floats is not
suficient for the rough water Of the
Severn River and Chesapeake Bay,
the preliminary tests have revealed.
The plane twice has nosed into the
water, bending the steel propeller.
New pontoon parts, designed by Mr..
Kean, were constructed by night and
day shifts Of mechanics at the Phila-
delphia Naval Aircraft Factory to
remedy this diffculty. Nearly 40 hours
would be REQUIRED. however, to re-
build the pontoons here.
