He did not discover the rlishap until
he was an hour and a half out Of New
York. Then he decided TO continue
setting his. course by compass and dead
reckoning: All went well until they
were within a comparatively short dis
lance of Bermuda, the first stop. when
q shift in the wind and misty weather
were encountered. This forced the
flyers to seek a low level of 400 feet, and
even at this altitude it was impossible
for them to see the island.
Turned Back at $3.50.
The plane was not equipped with
radio and no bearings could be asked
Realizing that he might run out OF
gasoline in search for the island, Mac
Laren said he and his companion de-
cided to turn back Hampton Roads
where MacLaren learned to fly as a
Navy pilot in 1919, was selected as the
nearest point and compass course was
set for the Virginia Capes. 1t was
1880 O'Clock when the plane. turned
back, having been in the air then
seven hours.
No trouble was encountered on the flight
to Hampton Roads, and few min
utes before o'clock the lights of the
Hampton Roads Naval Air Station were
picked up and an easy landing made
in the darkened waters of Willoughby
Bay, on which the air station fronts.
Lieut.. MacLaren said most Of the pilot
ing was done by Mrs. Hart while he
looked after the navigating duties HIS
records showed the plane had been in
the air Is hours and 25 minutes.
Lieut. MacLaren said after getting
into the air at New York and circling
round it was 6 o'clock when he finally
got his bearings from the Chrysler
Building and headed for Bermuda.

The mood Of the crowd seemed to
be epitomized in the words Of one man,
who said:
Father Kowaleski loves us and we
love him. He has been here 81 years,
and has built the parish from nothing
until what it is today. Wen not al

Almost simultaneously with the ar
rival Of the small police detail this af-

the church. In it were Father Kowal-
eski's successor and two other priests
All were hooted and imprisoned in the
car, which finally drove away. The
back and side doors of the church were
guarded to prevent the new pastor from
any possible stealthy entrance.
Soon after the priests disappeared,
Father Kowaleski came out Of the
church, walked slowly across the street
to the home of the church's organist,
and surrendered his keys. The mood Of
the crowd changed to one Of sad rev.

neither of us had time to think of eat

soon as check UP the ship and my log
