ter a week of ne^Wbipklnj? anxiety.
Aviator J. A. D- McCurtly.Hn a Cur
tiss biplane, started on his much
heralded flight from Key West to Ha
vana at 7:32 o'clock this m6rnlng.
At Key West a light breete was
blowing and the sea was smooth.
reports came by wireless
fdr, *hq
ftlence HpcT nearly been exhausted
by a week of an^loye waiting, qu!ekly!
(iecldf^ to fSaVe llie flight.
Early this morning orders were ls-i
-ued to the government boats at. Kry:
West and they Immediately took their'
positions ten miles apart.. Whenj
word came by wireless from the tor- ;
pedo boat destroyer Roe that ' the '
boats were all ready for him, McCur-j
dy got ready to make the flight. Ev-I
ery brace and wire on the biplane had J
been thoroughly tested. The motor!
had been tuned up and amid h silence j
thnt was almost oppressive. McCurdy;
| took up poai^n in the aeroplane. |
The engine was started, an assistant j
? eave the nropeller r couple of twists, j
McCurdy listened a moment to the|
sound of the motor,, then raised his
had as rf signal to th men holding
the machine to let go. Swiftly the
aeroplane ran along the smooth
ground for about one hundred feet.
tbon""$aslly and gracefully It rose
from the earth- and McCurdy com
menced to mount to the sky. As he
left the ground the assembled crowd
gavg a hearty cheer. McCurdy wav
ed hid hand and waa off on the most
difficult trip over the sea that has ev
er been attempted.
With tremendous velocity the
great ^rhlte winged biplane Ehot out
over the pmooth waters. Anxiously
the crowd on the shore watched the
machine as It grew smaller and smal
ler and faded from sight. Anxiously
they waited for the first news by wire
less and when the dispatch came that
he had passed the third boat thirty
miles from shore and was flying
smoothly another mighty cheer was
given. ' ' ?*;
McCurdy had already planned to
start on January 34th on the flight
to Havanna. He arrived at Key
Weat several days before that date
and made careful preparations foi
the fight. On last Tueaday morning,
however, atmospheric conditions
were such that he decided It would
be unsafe to make the attempt Day
after day and nlgbt after night he
waited for reports that the wind was
Moderate and tio sea amootfc. But
like Vexations imps the elements re
fused to be docile and poor McCurdy
waited impatiently rafcdy at any hour
to risk his life In the attempt to flght
over about ninety miles of open wa-j
