Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HAMILTON, Berumuds, April 4— Looking back, I believe the feat of our pilot, Willlam H. Alexander, in making & perfect landing on the ocean when there was a heavy ground swell was one of the most skiliful pileces of piloting I ever witnessed. Alexander showed ex- pert airmanship. The danger lay in the fact that if he had not judged the swells perfectly they would have nosed us over. A very happy spirit was displayed by the captain of the steamer Lady Somers, who ran 50 miles off his course no trouble, he reported us to Bermuda as O. K, relieving the tension there. We were particularly grateful to know that the Coast Guard was on the job ready to render service in case it was needed. I believe that the system of reporting our position at regular intervals, with our course and speed, was a good one, as was demonstrated by the fact that the Lady Somers found us without dif- ficulty. We are now engaged in overhauling the ship and engine, and have not decided definitely whether or not to at- tempt a return flight. The pontoon fittings on the ship were strained and required several replacements. This is being done now. We are much grati- fied over the Whirlwin engine, which is in perfect condition, despite the terri- ble beating it took while on the water on the open sea when it became thor- oughly wet with spray, and by the extra strain put on it by Alexander in m;kmg the particularly difficult take- o If we are successful in finding the proper equipment to repair the pontoon fittings, we -should be ready for the return flight in a day or so. In all probability we will not attempt a non- stop flight back to New York, but will land at Norfolk to replenish our fuel supply. The fiyers spent yesterday in making official calls. AMUSEMENTS Burton Holmes’ Talk on “Germany.” BURTON HOLMES, whose Thursday afternoon travelogues at the Na- tional Theater have become almast epic | in their quality, chose as his subject yesterday “Present-day Travel in Ger- | many,” and illustrated his lecture with | pictures that made the two hours and | more pass much too quickly. Mr. Holmes, whose far;seeing ‘eyes | have explored most every nook and cranny throughout the world, seemed most happy at being able to take his audience through and about what he calls the “new Germany.” Indeed, the war disease which left its mark for so many years on the central thorough- fares of this land was shown to have been buried amidst a concentrated effort of rebuilding. Munich, that fa- mously ancient music capital, in which the Mad King of Bavaria, Ludwig, in- troduced the operas of Wagner to the disgust and horror of the citizens and left them countless palaces and thea- ters to remember him by, seemed a veritable mecca of beauty in the pic- tures flashed on the screen. Wisely omitting the museums, which, as every one knows, would*have taken all afterncon to inspect with any kind of thoroughness, Mr. Holmes showed such glimpses of universal appeal as the old clock in the Bavarian capital, the beer gardens, the buildings that have been copied from Florentine and Gredian predecessors and the streets whose wide “aisles” seem broader than any heretofore witnessed. From Munich Mr. Holmes took his admiring audience to such beautiful spots as the Koeniga-See, “the loveliest lake in Europe”; to Nuremberg, where thousands of Americans come every gear to admire the old and quaint uildings; the “sausage shop” and such landmarks as the old clock (which, for some reason, Mr. Holmes neglected to show, and which is every bit as inter- esting as the one in Munich). There ‘were excursions also to the much paint- ed old city of Rothenburg, up the Rhine to Coblenz, down the Rhine to Frankfort-ce -the-Main, through various inland seaside resorts to Bad-Nauheim and its health interests and finally to Berlin, where present night life seems to be a serious menace to Paris. After & most enjoyable afternoon the Bremen takes us home—and to sup- per. E. de 8. M. Gen.
