Mr. Brown is stationed in Calcutta with the International Banking Corp- oration of New York City. With several friends, one of whom had served in the World War with Lieut. Leigh Wade, he acted as host to sev- eral of the aviators, and had an op- portunity to notice how they spent their lelsure hours on the world flight. Howt to Flyers. With his friends, Mr. Brown went to meet the flyers shortly after they landed. From that time, they were virtually hosts to Wade and Nelson, he said, Smith being obliged to ac- cept the Indian government's invita- tion to be its guest. Referring to their entertaining the aviators, Mr. Brown wrote: “We gave them baths and clean clothes, as they had nothing to wear with them, dined them at our flat one night, and helped them out as much as possible. They were very easy to en- tertain, as they stayed in a continual state of exhaustion all the time. They did all of the manual labor on| their planes themselves. The day after they arrived they worked from 7 a.m. to 12 midnight. “When we arrived at their work- shop—the hottest place I ever struck—with sandwiches and a tub of cold beer, you should have seen it go. They have seen nothing of any of the places they've been. They arrive, eat and go to bed, and spend all their time in their planes. Once or twice they| had to go out to official dinners, but they always excused themselves about 10 o'clock and went to bed. “The evening they dined with us we just let ‘em alome to do as they Pleased.
