Others may fly between America and in land planes, but the fact that they may succeed occasionally does not mean that this means is safe. ' “A seaworthy seaplane, if dis- abled, can come down, attend to repairs and take off again. Sea- planes are heavier, and cumber- some, but they can carry larger motors and neutralize the defect of weight through added power and ability to carry more fuel, “We shall start precisely at the season when the weather is best, bringing with us 1,000 pounds of mail. In the Azores we will refill our tanks so we may have about 2,000 gallons for the long hop. Then we shall lose no time leaving for Halifax. “My cabin will be fitted with the same number of navigation devices as the captain's cabin of a large liner. If the weather is foggy and I cannot read the com- pass we will go above the clouds, and I will carry a 500-watt radio transmitter with an adequate re- ceiver so as to be able at all times to get in touch with ships below and check up on my reck- onings. Our plane will have a dead weight of eight toms, or of 16 tons fully loaded. “We wish to prove the possi- bility of the Azores route as the only Atlantic airway possible.” Captain Ruiz de Alda 1s 30 years of age.
