When we heard from Dr. Kimball on Monday evening that pros- pects of fine weather were excellent, we | decided to fuel our plane with view to start in the early morning of Tuesday. We immediately went to the flying field. that evening and put in 718 gal- lons of gasoline and 21 gallons of ofl. Our food consisted of twe roast chickens, some sliced bread and butter wrapped in wax paper, two_thermos les of black coffee, two gallons of water, some chocolate bars and chewing gum. At 4 am. Tuesday we were aj Floyd Bennett Field. (All times givcA are Eastern standard.) At 5 o'clock we took off down the' 4,200-foot concrete runway. Despite its great lemgth, we would have been unable to get into the air had not officials in charge of the field of the airport removed some tele- phone standards which run along this road at right anges to the airport run- | way. Flyers Had Naval Escort. Thanks to their help, we were able to obtain an excellent take-off. We proceeded across Long Island to the north and came out over Long Island Sound. ‘We were greatly surprised and cheered to see that our good friend Capt. White- head of the United States Navy was keeping us company. He flew aloi iside of us for 20 miles before leav- ing us. Despite our tremendous load, which was more than twice the weight of our airplane, we had no difficulty in hold- We followed the con- tour of the coast of Providence, R. L As we passed over villages and towns ! early morning risers waved gayly to us. Passing west of Boston and continu- | ing up the coast, our cours: took us over Portland, Me., to Pencbscot Bay. From there we headed toward Nova | Scotia, where we encountered fog, which we had to fy above. However, it did not last long, and we soon were able to sez Sidney, Nova Scotia, on our left as we_headed for Newfoundland. During this 175-mile stretch we had ‘our first touch of ocean fiying. We saw only one small freighter, over which we flew low so that our numbers might be read and our prog- | vess reported. Along the coast of New- foundland the Jighthouse keepers and their families waved us a hearty good- by as we passed out over the Atlantic. iLeaving Cape Race lighthouse at a height of 1.000 feet, we took our final Learings and set our first objective on our flight to Istanbul. Encountered Dense Fog. ‘We then ran into a rain squall, which lasted for a few minutes, but for the first hundred miles we were able to see the sea in spite of scattered clouds and intermittent fog. One hour from Cape Race we en- countered a dense fog which stayed with us all through the night, making 1t possible for us to observe the sea only at rare intervals. We were flying above it and did not see a single ship all the way from Cape Race to the Irish coast. At 1:57 on Wednesday morning we saw the sun rise up through the fog. Continuing on our wry eastward, the low clouds and fog forced us to fly at a gradually increasing altitude. At 9 am. we were thrilled when we caught sight of a patch of green through a hole in the clouds. We knew that we were over Ireland and our first object had been attained. However, our troubles had only be- gun. Clouds and fog forced us to an altitude of 14,500 feet. There the cold became intense, and in our very light attire we felt it acute- ly. We hung on, however, until ice started to form on the wings and wind- shields and forced us to fly lower.
