STRAIGHTAWAY CLEAN tUT FLIGHT IS MADE IN 16 HOURS 12 MINUTES Voyage of Brown and Alcock Is With' oat Accident LANDED OX IBISH COAST Brief Description of Flight Tells of AdTentnrons and Haxardons Enterprise. FOUGHT AGAINST THE FOG At Tines the Biplane Bos? to 11,000 Feet and Again It Swooped Down Ah most to Sea?Flew Upside Down. London, June 16.?The final goal of all the ambitions which flying men have ventured to dream since the Wright brothers first rose from the earth in a heavier than air machine, was realized this mornmg when two young British officers, -Capt. John Al cock and'Lieut. Arthur W. Brown, landed on the Irish coast after the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic ocean. Their voyage wa9 without accident and without unforseen incident so far as can be learned. It was a straight away, clean cut flight, achieved.in 16 [hours and 12 minutes?from Newfound Hand to Clifden, Ireland, a distance of more than 1,900 miles. But the brief and modest description which comes from the alrsieg. at Clif den ?ells of an adventurous and amaz ingly hazardous enterprise. Fogs and mists hung over the north A'lsniic and the Vlckers-Vimy biplanejeJjx' ed and drovedstruggling to extri?ai< herself from the folds of the airplane's worst enemy. She rose to 11.000 feet swooped down almost to the surface of the sea, and at times the two navigators found themselves flying upside down only 10 Ifeet above the water. ! Before coming to earth near the j Clifden wireless station Alcock circled '.the wireless aerials, seeking the best | spot to reach the earth, but no suitable ground was found, so he chanced it ?in a bog. I The wireless staff rushed to the aid I of the aviators. TUev found Brown , dazed and Alcock temporarily deafen ed by the fore?* of the impact. As soon as they were able to be escorted to the wireless station they telegraph jed the news to their friends, then had breakfast. "That is the best way to cross the ; Atlantic." said Lieuienant Brown, af ter he had eaten i ! The landing was made at 9:40 ! o'clock. British summer time. In tak ling th<% ground the machine struct? heavily and the fuselage ploughed into i the sand. Neither of the occupants 'was injured. Much of-the flight was made through iimiUIIUI ill I111U. 1 Iffg 'hampered the aifmen considerably dul\ Iteg-their journey. I Captain Alcock explained the silence 'of his radio instrument during the {trip by saying that the wireless pro-j peller blew off soon after the biplane_ left Newfoundland. __ ' i we were much jammed by strong ?wireloiir. rignalg not intended foi lib," he added. When word was received here of the accideut to the machine in landing ar rangements were made for mechanics to leave London immediately to make if Word came from Clifdeo this after noon that the pilot ana the navigator of the biplane were leaving for Gal-, way whence Lieutenant Brown plan ned to travel by trfttti to London, ar riving there onTTTCsday morning. Cap-1 tain Alcock however, hoped to be able to fly to London in the machine which made the record flight as soon as it could be repaired. - It was planned to have him give an exhibition over Lon don in the machine, ifpussiole. The aero club received a message from Clifden not long arter the trans atlantic flight had ended, signed by the airmen, which merely stated that they had completed the flight in 16 hours and 12 minutes. They requested in structions from the club. In reply the club telegrr.phed Cap tain Alcock: "Keep machine intact until, observer , arrives." I The air ministrjr?sTat?d t?a: certain (marks were put on the airplane at [Newfoundland which must bo official-j j ly identified by a member of tho royal j 'air force before the flight is declared j ! to have been officially completed*. It was said at the ministry that it was 'probable one of the officials would ? leave Dublin in an airplane to relieve AVock and Drown. It was hardly b?? d rlHM-e-that the machine could be j ..ired before several days had pass i-d and it was thought both the avia- ' tors would proceed to England by' train. Alcock and Brown stood the trip' well. Mr. W. M. Person attended ing of th. Hoard of Trustees of the Stilt?- University at Chapel Hill this 1 week.
