Oct 10. (IP) - Advices to authorities
at the Croydon airdrome tonight said
the monoplane Columb.a, en route
Iroin Harbor Grate to Croydon, had
landed at Trasco on the Scilly lies
The lies are off tho coast of Cornwall
on the English coast some 300 miles
horn Croydon.
HARBOR ORACE N F. Oct 10 (IP)
The monoplane Columbia, which left
here yesterday on en attempted non-
stop flight to London was believed
lighting bad weather in mid-ocean to-
day.
Although reports ol the plane's pro-
gress were meager, the la'est advices
indicated that Capt J Errol Boyd and
Lieut Harry Conner were making
scarcely 80 miles an hour on the first
half of the trip.
Weather fori easts warned of rain and
poor visibility over the greater part of
their course, although the winds were
said to be in their favor
Since Boyd and Connor carried no
ladto equipment, the only word ot their
progress necessarily came fr: m the iew
ships along their route The steamer
Paneastria reported sighting the p'-Rie
at 5 40 p. m . yesterday about 475 miles
from here.
Tire Columbia which Clarence Cham-
berlin and Charles A Levine flew from
New York to Germany in 1927. faced a
trip of 2.400 miles before reaching
Croydon airdrome, just outside the Brit-
ish capital
Have Plenty of Fuel
Boyd and Connor had : ulftclent fuel
aboard to My 40 hours. They had hop-
ed to reach Croydon In less than 24
hours, however.
Connor's navigating placed the ship
in a position to the advantage of the
favorable winds despite the inclement
weather conditions.
Ordinarily the airmen would follow
the great circle course to the north-
west but by deviating and taking hill
advantage cf the tailwinds they ap-
parently believed they could make fas-
ter time.
The experience of the liters and tli"
worthiness of their machine ied to the
belief here that the flight would be
successful. It was believed tha. Con-
nor might have same difficulty in mak-
ing observations as fog continued here
after the ship hnd taken off
A low pressure storm area was re-
ported moving southeast from Iceland
towards Ireland and England. But T
was believed that Boyd and Connor
could fly around It without difficulty.
A decreasing gasoline >ad would en-
able Capt. Boyd to seek more favorable
winds in higher altitudes as he neared
ihe coast of Ireland.
The fliers were expected to approach
the roast of Ireland eariy today if all
went well.
Captain Boyd has been a flier for
15 vears. He saw service as a lieut-
enant in the Royal air force during
the war, he was show down in action
in 1916.
Connor Is an officer In the U. 8
naval reserve with experience as a
navigator aboard warships and ocean
liners. His experience in the air has
been more limited.
