SHGENTINE FLYER - TO LAND TUESDAY “Jose Gatti Plans to Start South American Hop Here in April. Jose Gatti, 26-year-old Argentine avi- etor who is planning a good-will air- plane flight from Washington to Buenos Aires early in April, will reach New York next Tuesday on the S. S. Ameri- can Teaion. Upon his arrival Gattl »Jt mect for the first time Howard 11:v4 Cox of Brooklyn, who will be his e v'gator on the flight of approximately 2,500 miles. The flight is being sponsored by Gen- eral Motors of Brazil and General Mo- tors of Argentina, and will be the first rtempted direct-to-South America filght since Paul Redfern’s ill-fated at- $anpt from Brunswick, Ga., last vear. | Gatti will be met in New York by |y as well as con- | ¢ Genersl Motors offic: suls and vice consuls of Latin American THE _EV (Continued from Yesterday's Star) He followed Capt. Mumm up the ladder. There was a group awaiting them on the deck—a number of men; and there was a woman amongst them. The red-haired skipper stepped down on the deck—and then, under the glare of the flare light, Peter stood suddenly stock-still. His hands clenched tightly. That slim, cloaked figure there! His eyes met hers over the skipper's head —held hers. And he stood there— looking—looking. His face had gone white; white as death—he sensed that, Somewhere in the world .. around the next corner . ! It was long ago, years ago,-and then for only a single moment, but it seemed now as though there had been no years, no time between, that it was the night in the lobby of that London theater again, and that their eyes were still holding each other, as though that gaze, one upon the other, had never | lifted, never been broken.

The hop-off will take place in the afternoon, according to Navigator Cox. so that the overwater part of the Toute may be made in daylight. “This is to be a safe and sane flight,” declared Cox, “for the safe and sane development of aviation, and we believe it will be another step toward a reg- ular air route linking the two conti- ments.” In outlining the route, Cox said that the plane would fly overland most of the way from Washington to St. Au- fusnnm Fla., where it would jump over he water to Port of Spain. From Port of Spain the flight will continue over water to Para, Brazil, a distance of about 1.000 miles, and then proceed to Pernambuco. another thousand miles. From Pernambuco to Rio de Janeiro, a distance of 1.200 miles, will be the next | leg, and then will follow a short flight | 1o Sao Paulo.

The fellow was an immaculate little chap, an East Indian obviously, but with a most per- fect command of English, and the man smiled cordially, and was undoubtly anxlous to please and be obliging, but Peter wilshed the man would go. What with bringing in suits of clothes and suits of pyjamas, and trays of food, the man had been constantly in and out of the stateroom from the moment he, Peter, had found himself its co- occupant with Capt. Mumm. And now, his mind no longer in any sort of dize, he wanted to talk to Capt. Josephus Mumm more seriously that he had ever | ¢ wanted to talk to any one bcfore. ‘The steward moved toward the door, his tasks apparently at an end. “Is there anything elsc you would; like, gentlemen?

No watch to keep! Sleep till morning—that's me.

Two hours ago Capt.
