Commander Byrd expected to reach Paris within 30 hours or out 5 o'clock eastern daylight time tonight. The America passed from sight of land at Bellevue, Newfoundland at 0:42 p. m. last night. Two continents listened as the giant bird winged Us way. While ships at sea and radio stations lu North America rcce Lieiiien- ant George Neville's radio bull tins on the progress of the crall, Ireland heard the siaccalo mess ages that indicated thy advance of the adventurers. With the masterly skill that carried him safely over tho North Pole llyrd chart oil his course against conflicting winds and mists. A message received early today from the commander said that due to fog and low clouds they had sighted neither land nor sea since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. IAs if nature was a co-player in the dramatic air journey, all I lie elements prevailed in a great stage I that llyrd set out lo explore. The i course of the "Aiihtcu", at least for the first half of lis journey was beset with all the navigation prob lems Byrd hoped lo solve. PurM)M Being Achieved Less than eight hours alter the take off Commander Byrd indic ated purposes of the flight were being achieved. "We think we are getting some scieutilic data." he ki id in a radio message picked up at Halifax. From the time the "America" left ltoosevelt field at 5:L'4 o'clock eastern daylight time yesterday morning, the woiid followed its progress through f reiiuent bulle tins broadcast from the craft. Greetings and cheery reports were at the hangar of the Trans Oceanic company, sponsors of the flight, at ltoosevelt field, land sta tions and many ships at sea. Then came terse bulletins that told of the battle against the fog and winds in the northeastern Atlan tic. "Dense fogs cover all Newfound land." the flight emit muiidcr re ported at l ; :: i o'clock last night. "Getting above it. Have had bad adverse winds. Impossible to navi gate.
