"Celestial navigation by use of I the bubble sextant Is more re liable than hitherto was believed" said Davis. "Flying above cloud? Insured a clear sky. It also eli minated the danger of blind ln jstrumentul flying." Lieutenant Wyatt declared no one could be blamed for the disas ters in the Dole flight, that the in spections were us rigid and as thorough as It was possible to 1 make them. Wyatt discounted talk of de | fects in the three lost planes, say ing the Golden Eagle was the last word in plane construction and that the Mint l)nran had passed all tests successfully. | "The Miss Dora ii had motor trouble and came back only to at tempt the flight again" Wyatt I continued. "I believe the plane was forced down in the first four hours from redevelopment of the original trouble to the motor. The fliers wero advised not to try It | again and hIioiiIiI ?havo remained to tent the new spark plugs. "The Krwln plane was un j doubtedly flying tot) low.
