Columbia, which successfully SPAWNED

time Friday, was ready today to
resume its trip to Croydon airport,

Captain j. Enrol Boyd and Lieu
tenant Harry Conner, its crew, were
forced down on this rocky coast
Friday after flight of twenty-four
hours and ten minutes from Harbor
Grace, Newfoundland. A broken
feed line prevented them from
reaching their goal, 800 miles away.
Fighting bad weather the airmen
had gone about $50 miles off their
course when they descended on the
isle of Presco. just off the SOUTH

A difference Of five minutes time
in the breaking of the feed pipe
might have meant disaster for the

had broken five minutes earlier or
five minutes later, Boyd and Con-
nor would have been confronted
