' VON GRONAU RECORDS SHIP LIKE MARINER NEW YORK. Aug. 27 iP) Like any ordinary mariner Capt. Wolfgang Von Gronau. skipper of the skies, went down to the custom house to record the arrival In port of his flying whale, in which he ana tnree com panions made an eight day Journey from Germany. Wliilc the other three membors of the crew enjoyed breakfast in their hotel, Von Gronau hailed a taxi and rode downtown with a friend, driving through crowds unaware of his iden tity. When the whale flying boat alight ed between the battery and .the statue of liberty yesterday-an immigration inspector went aboard from a poiico boat to ask the usual question, but the customs formalities were post poned until today. -: Before Capt. Von Gronau left the hotel he received a telegram from the state department at Washington of ficially congratulating him. The mayor's committee was at work today on plans for a more formal city reception than vas possible yes terday. The flight fulfilled for Captain Von Gronau, crisp-spoken veteran of the German imperial navy flying service, an old dream and pained him the distinction of being the first to land a transatlantic plane In New York harbor. Added glamor was given the flight by the fact that it was made In an old reconditioned ship, used by Amundsen in Arctic exploration and by Captain Frank Courtney in an 1 abortive attempt to span the Atlantic. It was estimated the filers covered about 4,000 nautical miles in a flying time of 47 hours. Cruiser Adrift Off ! Long Island Sound NEW YORK.
