We | HOOKS SAILFISH WHICH GOT AWAY Heble Todd, United States immigration service, yester- day experienced the greatest thri!l which can come to an angler when he hooked a fine sailfish and then relapsed in- to a mood of disgust and despair when he lost it. As the guest of Ernest Hemingway on his cabin cruiser Pilar, with J. A. Con- nable, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Cecil Gray, local taxi- dermist, Mr. Todd had the pleasure of catching his share of 10 bonito, six king- fish, barracuda, grouper, ji and others of the finny tribe, when the sailfish struck. Not only was the moment one of excitem: for Mr. Todd, but it maintained the record of the Pilar for the season of having a member of the party on every time out hooking a sailfish and catching six of them in the last seven times out. But in the case of Mr. Todd the fighting, ‘eaping beauty seemed determined not to be taken and while jumping, severed the with his tail.

Riv- as, of the police department, on duty om Duval street. Mr. Rivas began his investiga- tion and shortly afterward saw the car and the youths, who saw him about the same time and be- gan to give the car the “gun.” With increased speed, the car sped on out Flagler street and other thoroughfares in that lion of the city, Officer Rivas told The Citizen. and when on the county road started to zig zag from one side to the other without any’ appreciable decrease in speed. So fast were the boys going, the} officer said, that he was every passing moment in fear that they would collide with some object and suffer either serious injury or, possibly, death. After the chase continued for several minutes the, car was turn-/ street where a stop and the boys were placed under arrest, in The car was taken at 7:45 and at 8:55 was returned to Mr. Adams, undamaged. Parents of the youths, it is un- derstood, have pleaded with Mr. Adams not to prosecute, and, it is said, he is giving the matter consideration before de€iding.

Equipping the ship for high altitude flying, however, was not {simply a matter of going out and buying nécessary accessories. He 'found that engineers had ad- {vanced a lot of theories, but ac- {tually produced nothing practical. \Before Post was ready for his | tirst test flight. more than a. year, ‘had elapsed, and he had used most various sources as result of his jlast world trip. Constructed Suit Wiley realized that while army and navy pilots had made flights to considerable altitudes with only a small bottle of oxygen and an oxygen mask, such flights would never be practicable over long dis- tances due to extreme differences in pressure encountered. The best solution, he knew, would be to seal the entire cabin of the ship and maintain a pres- sure néarly that of sea level. This was not practical at the moment due to the time and expense in: ved. He approached the problem from the standpoint of a suit in- to which oxygen could be pumped and which not only would give the pilot sufficient oxygen for nor- mal breathing, but also would maintain a body pressure com- parable to that near sea level. In designing this suit, Wiley gave to aviation one of the finest contributions it has received in many years. Even though the sealed cabin will make its appearance soon in transport planes, such an arrange- ;ment would be impracticable for i military work, especially in one or two-seater pursuit planes. With the Post suit, it will be possible for a military pilot to fly just as high as his ship will take him, at no personal discomfort. The Supercharger | If the suit should be punctured iduring aerial combat, and the | pilot is not seriously injured, he | either can fly to lower levels or juse a parachute without experi- \encing ill effects, thanks to an / | | { { | ] i | arrangement worked out by Post. | While Wiley was designing and ‘ building the suit he also was hav- jing many other pieces of equip- ‘ment constructed to enable the | Winnie Mae to reach stratosphere heights. | Most important of these was a | supercharger for the engine which | would enable it to develop its sea | level horsepower at greater eleva- | tions.
