Arturo Perron and M*j. Carlo P. de PreU landed on a little beach ten mj|?a of Natal, Brazil some 4,600 milea from their takeoff at Montecelio field, Italy. They brought their big seaplane, the Savoia-64, in which they previously had established a world record for duration flight, Jo the land after a flight that took them across the Mediterranean, through the Straits of Gibraltar and then south* west over the Atlantic via Cape Verde Islands. Stormy weather with heavy clouds PVt the flier* in peril in the last hours of their effort and radio, reports received here indicated thai they had difficulty in maintaining their bearings after they reached the coast of (Brazil. They were sighted over Port Natal at 4:05 p. m. and were then believed to be heading for Pernambuco, but three hours and 45 minutes later they came down ten miles north of Natal, at Point Genipabu. Poor visibility is believed to have caused their indecision." The failure of the two intrepid Italians to wind up their flight at Rio de Janeiro brought disappointment to a huge crowd of spectators in this city. (Word that the flier* had gone beyond Natal, flying to the south, coupled with absence of any report of their landing near Pernambuco, spread rapidly to tho capital and brought throngs to the waterfront. All dayf>. there were crowds about the bulletin boards eagerly scanning every bit of in^ formation on the flight that came from island stations and steamers > * w Hopes were raised, then lowered, as the various reports, many of them conflicting, were made public. News Jhat .were neqx the Bravilian coast early this morning and then that they had passed Pernambuco bound for Rio de Janeiro was greeted with a frenzy of joy. Within a few hours the Italian ambassador here was deluged with hundreds of telegrams of congratulation.s When the plane was sighted at Natal, preparations were immediately begun to welcome the fliers here, and special trains were ordered to carry aviation enthusiasts to Afonso aviation field, where lights were or?hWWinK> that the aviators could land oven if they arrived after dark. All Rio de Janeiro was a riot of color, with Italian and Brazilian flags intertwined, while big crowds cheered in front of the bulletin boards. Although the aviators Anally were forced to land far to the northward the city kept right on celebrating, and the boulevards were crammed with excited persons. Latest reports received here indicated that Captain Ferrarin, even after he had turned back toward Natal, thought he was continuing toward Rio de Janeiro but finally discovered his error und Was forced to land at Genipabu. The Savoia plane that carried the two Italian birdmen tc the pinnacle of fame in transatlantic flying is a monoplane of wood and metal construction, powered with a,?50-horsepower Fiat motor. Its tested maximum speed is approximately 160 milea an hour with full load, and its average cruising speed is between 115 and 125 milek an hour.' .^Loaded the machine haa a total weight of 13,600. Its duration radius was estimated to be more than 65 hour*,:. ' The S-64 is a sister ship of the , "0-56, the plane that, commanded by Maj. Umber to Maddalena, has been most attive in relief work for the illfated Nobile expedition. This S-64 is equipped with, a small radib equipment of medium range. A Ghoulish Prank Camdeny N. July 4.?AVilliam Ingram, 40, of this city, was in a hospital tonight with his teeth blasted away, the victim of a Fourth of July prank. While he ail asleopon the porch of his home, presumably with moufh agape, a practical joker thrust a large firecracker between his teeth, Hghted-lhe tB49_and_ fl?& The firecracker exploded, Ingram leaped to his feet and then dropped to the floor writhing in agony. His shrieks brought neighbors. Physicians pronounced his condition serious. All his - teeth were gone. Police had no clue as to the identity of the practical Jbfcpr.

C. headquarters. "Andrue was the first to put the idea of polar exploration from the air into execution," says the bulletin. "The dirigible had not been perfected, so he pinned his faith to a free balloon, hoping that winds would blow his craft to the North Pole. With two companions, he rose in hia balloon from Dane's Island, near the northwestern point of Spitsbergen, thirty-one years ago, in July 1897. A message by carrier pigeon from near latitude 82 degrees North was the last heard of the expedition. "In 1907 Walter Well man took off in a dirigible from Andrees balloon house in Dane's Island, but was blown against the near-by mountains and had to slit the balloon bag. "Wellman made another attempt with a dirigible from Dane's Island in 1909. From this ship he dragged a large steel and leather 'serpent' stuffed with extra food and supplies. The strange craft made a good start, but the 'serpent' suddenly broke its cabla and the dirigible shot into the air. After a struggle to return southward it fell into the sea about 120 miles north of Spitsbergen where Wellman and his companions were rescued. "The next use of a balloon in the Arctic was in 1910 when Count Zeppelin, German maker of dirigibles, went to Spitsbergen to arrange for a flight by one of his huge air cruisers. He took on his ship a captive balloon and used it in observations of the ice-pack to the north. These prelimqbs^rvations, however, were not followed by exploration with a rigid airship. "The first flight over polar regions , 'in a heavier-than-air machine came in May, 1926. The place was again Spitsbergen, which taw the first use of balloons in Arctic exploration. Amundsen and K1Uworth with four companions Hew north from Kings buy in two airplanes fitted with landing skids. When six hours out, their gasoline supply half gone, they landed on the ice about 160 miles south of the pole. One plane was abandon ed; and after nearly four weeks of work the six men got the remaining plane into the uir and returned to Spitsbergen. "The same summer a National Geographic Society Expedition took three U. S. navy planes hy ship to north Greenland and in August made u number of exploratory flights over Kllesmcr Island and Greenland. These planes were in charge of Commander ltichurd K. Uyrd. "In 11)26 Wilkins and Kielson made the first of their attempts to fly by airplane from Point Barrow, Alaska, across the polar regions. On March 81 they flew 140 miles of the Alaskan coast and returned. This flight carried exploration in thut region 70 mUes or more farther than ever before. "On May 9,1026, Byrd and Bennett, flying a monoplane from Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, made the first conquest of the North Pole by air. After circling the pole point they returned to Kings Bay on the same day. "Two days later Amundsen, Ellsworth and Nobile with a staff and crew of thirteen other men, left Kings Bay in the Norge, a semirigid dirigible. They flew over the North Pole and on to Teller, Alaska, remaining in the air 71 hours. "In March, 1927, Wilkins and Eielson made their second attempt to fly in an airplane from Alaska across the polar regions. After flying approximately 550 miles to the northward they were forced to the ice by engine trouble, and after making repairs turned back. The gasoline supply was exhausted while the plane was still 70 miles north-of Point Barrow. 111 1 11 . ' . ' They landed on the ice, abandonel the plane and walked and crawled back to the Alaska coast in twelve days. Family Itow Cauaea Shooting Charleston, July 6.?Wm. F. Strickland, 40, North Augusta, S. C., was shot and fatally wounded at Adams Run, 80 miles from here today, when ho attempted to regain custody of his daughter who had been taken away by his estranged wife. Wm. B. Leake of Charleston, a brother of Mrs. Strickland, was shot and seriously wounded and Tyler Gooding, 25, who is accused of shooting Strickland, was wounded in the hand. Mrs. Jt-Fy Messer, of Gaffney, waa instantly killed when she was knocked forty feet'by a Southern train hitting the automobile in which she was riding. Lloyd Dockery, another pas-i senger in the car had his thigh broken. Mr. Messer, who was driving, jumped in time to escape injury. I'll . 1 " i 1 J . . . J, JUL. 11" -!
