Manhattan, at Sea, Aug. 4. —(Al*) —Douglas Corrigan, only a little less important in the minds of Irishmen today than Brian Boru and others, grinned with pleasure today as he stood at the rail of this New York-bound liner and looked forward to the welcome awaiting him. The ship moved at half speed through fog. Corrigan was in a fog, too, or at least he said he was, as he remembered all that has hap pened to him in the month past— the flight in the old crate from California to New York, the take off for home, and his surprise at finding himself in Dublin—of all places. He knew, of course, what waited him in New York, for he had got more than a dim idea of New York’s frenzied greetings a couple of days before he started his wild trans-Atlantic flight, when the city went a little balmy over Howard Hughes and his four world-circling companions.
