The outstanding difference in the conditions of the two flights he a1d, was that whers the America, ing from west to east, had the ad- ntage of a 30-mile an hour tail wind, which would increasa its speed and reducs fuel consumption, the Southern Cross ountered 2 head wind of about the same velocity, which cut her speed by a correspond- ing amount and increased consumpe. tion of fuel The flight ot the Southern Cro: had added its contribution to the store of knowledge of transatlantic ¢ weather Fokker Sends Message Yew York.
