Mrs. Haldeman's eyes and it was a touching moment when the flier tore | himself away for a moment to an- | swer the flood of questions that was rected at him and Miss Elder. Informed that her husband had expressed the hope that her flying were over, Miss Elder smiled d said, “I'm sorry about that, but I've no intention of quitting now." { “Won't you go back to washing dishes for him?" she was asked. “I've washed lots ot dishes,” she answered, as ng that she did not intend to go back to Panama with her husband “right away.” “Would I like to do it over again? | Well, I should say so, and I hope to | be able to, but I have no plans now | for the future.” And Capt entimen “If Miss days Haldeman joined her in th er wants to go again next year and if she wants me as | co-pilot,” he sald, “I'll be tickled to | death to go with her.” It was Ialdeman who landed | “The American Girl” on the ocean just before the wrecked fllers w rescued by the steamer Barendrecht, Miss Flder said, He had no time to don hig safety suit before the crash, but she put hers on in a hurry, she sald. When the steamer's lifeboat came to pluck them off the floating plane, it was Haldeman who was ken oft fivst, she said, because the boat crew saw that he had no means of keeping afloat. Explains Explosion The explosion which ruined the plane while it was belng hoisted aboard the Barendrecht, Haldeman said, probably was caused by a sud- den puncture of the gasoline tanks as the plane bumped against the side ot the vessel in a heavy swell. “We were in the water only $5 minutes before we were picked up,” Haldeman said. “When we landed we were only about 100 feet from the Barendrecht, but the heavy sea {carried us off and by the time the lifeboat came alongside we must [have been & quarter of a mils from the ship.” | Miss Elder's faith that “every- |thing was golng to be all right” drove away any fright she might have felt when the Amecrican Girl zoomed down to the ocean, she sald. “Our oil gauge started to lose ssure at midnight of the night e we fell.” she said, “and for 'r hours Capt.
