Two Italian Aviators
Kttlablish bew Record
Kio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 6.^
A new distance record for sustained
flight was completed this evening
when Capt. 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.

> ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS
That Have Paaa Made From Air
Have Added Much Information
i
Aircraft has played a more important
part in the exploration of the
Arctic than appears at Arst thought,
it is pointed out by the National
Geographic Society in a bulletin from
its Washington, L). 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,
