FLORIDA, MONDAY, JULY 23, 1934. The first of America’s new su- per air-liners, the Sikorsky S-42, will soon start on its first flight between this country and Brazil. At present undergoing the last of a series of strenuous tests at the hands of Colonel Lindbergh and other aviation experts, the giant nineteen-ton ship is the largest and fastest flying boat now ready ansport service. which will be for- as the Brazilian Clipper, is in every respect a marvel of modern aeronautical In spite of its great bulk and weight, it recently at- tained a speed of 190 m. p. h. during its tests, with 31 people ahoard. In addition, two world’s records have been broken by the plane in the tests. The first was { for carrying a recorded payload of eight tons to an altitude of 15,084 feet, and the other was for carrying a payload of five and one-half tons to 21,800 feet. The mammoth air cruiser has a gross weight of 38,000 pounds and is powered by four motors e ng a total of 2,700 horse- power. The wingspan is 114 feet 2 inches, and the ship's length is 68 feet $ inches. Besides a crew of five, the boat will have accom- modations for 32 passengers and will carry 2,500 pounds of mail and air expres: The remarkable efficiency of the S-42 is the result of its a vanced construction. The hull is metal throughout, with chrome molybdenum and duraluminum used. On these metals literally rests the responsibility for the Brazilian Clipper’s performance. The chrome molybdenum, for ex- ample, used where extreme strength is required with a mini- mum of weight, is employed at such points of great stress as in engine mountings, struts and fit- tings. In other places it has been employed to reduce the area of material by the use of this stronger material. When the boat goes into ser- vice, the Brazilian Clipper will bring Buenos Aires within five days of Miami. Having won clear title to the “blue pennant” for transport supremacy over the aerial merchant ships of the air, the Brazilian Clipper has been called the modern counterpart of the historic Yankee clippers that won for America supremacy on the high seas. Paul Atwell Stunned By Suaok From Lightning On South Beach Paul Atwell, construction fore- man for the lighthouse depart- ment, is still suffering from lightning and shock and burn re- ceived yesterday morning while in bathing at South Beach. Following a brilliant display of thunder, Mr. Atwell’s head was ‘seen to fall forward in the water| and his body remain motionless. His brother, Harry, who was on the beach, went into the water and brought Paul to the where artificial respiration was applied after which he was taken ‘to the Marine hospital.
