into a small room whose windows

An airline steward served us tea
and We were very cheerful and

when, one by one. We were taken
in to still smaller room and seated
facing two civilian officials. The
opening question to me was blunt:
Why are you here?" I told them
I was the editor of a paper in New
York and had a correspondent in
London but 1 had come to see for
myself-because the success of the
war for Britain was SO important
to Americans and it was so difficult
to form an accurate impression from
SO far away.
This argument appealed to neither
OF them and We went over it a good

was armed, but did not feel like
asking. 1t wasn't.
Word From the World.
The ship could have seated a
couple of dozen more passengers,
but the whole forward half of it was
piled high with mail bags-mall
bags with labels showing that they
came from all over the world. From
Egypt. Australia, South America
and the United States, from Cam
ada and Spain and Switzerland.
Lisbon is the great airmail juno
ton of the world and here was news
from the whole empire converging
on London.
The sky was just light when We
took of to the east, climbed above
the halls that rise from Lisbon S
peninsula, turned north over a bar
rem countryside. I wondered how
near we were to the enemy frontier.
The night before you fly to Lon
don you are apt to sit up because
you suddenly find you don't like to
say good-by to new-made friends.
I fell asleep as we rose over the
clouds Just by the edge Of the sea.
When I woke up it was very cold.
There was no land in sight. We
were flying below thin broken layer
OF clouds and the two aviators in
the seat opposite me were speculat-
ing on whether the clouds were thick
enough to make cover for us. 1t was
obvious why the pilot flew where
he did for even thin and scattered
clouds above us screened us from
any planes flying higher. We were
only a 1000 or 1000 feet above the
water. From time to time we passed
over small ships moving north and
south.
Long Way Around.
In a straight line the flight may
be made In five or six hours. We
were in the air eight and half. We
must have swung 500 miles west of
the mainland and come in a great
circle into England. We figured
that was what we were doing from
the movement Of the sun. We were
cold all the time. It wasn't very
rough. In the middle Of the day the
steward gave us hot coffee and a
light lunch.
We kept looking out the window
appraising the cloud cover and ex-
pecting to see enemy aircraft. This
was because none of us except the
Swiss courier had made the trip
before. He made it half a dozen
times quite uneventfully. Later on
I could find no record of any of
these British commercial planes
having been shot at & pursued in
their trips back and forth to Lisbon
The only German plane reported
some months ago-had mistaken the
flying boat for a fighting craft and
hustled itself off over the horizon.
After a long time the skipper
came down and told us We would be
in at 4:3O in the afternoon. At
2:30 the steward made the rounds
