thle Irish coast after tlie ilrst nol-stop
flight acros: the Atlantic Ocean.
Their voyage was wit hout accident
and witloit uno foreseeni incidelit, so
far as can he iearlied. 1t. was a
stiaiglit-away clean-cut Ilight achieved
in sixteen hours and twolve Iminu tes
-from New Foundland to Clifden,
Ireland, a distance of more than 1,900
miles.
-lut the brief and modest descrip
tion which comes froi the airmen
at 'llfden tells of an adventiurous and
aimazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the North At
lantlc, and the Vickers-Vimy biplane
tacked and dived, struggling to extri
cate herself from the folds of the air
plane's worst enlemy.
She rose to 11,000 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface of the sea
and at times the two navigators found
themselvyes flying upside down only
ten feet above the water.
liefore coming to earth near the
Clifden wireless station Alcock circled
the wireless aerials, seeking the best
spot to reach the earth, but no sitable
ground was found, so lie chanced it
in a bog.
Thle wireless staff rushed to the aid
of the aviators. They found Brown
(lazed and Alcock temporarily deaf
ened by the force of the impact. As
sool as they were able to be escorted
to the wireless station they telegraph
ed the inews to their friends; then had
breakfast.
