Dial it waa only a month ago that
Moissant learned to fly, an<l was so
little known among the air men that
not even hia nationality win disclosed.
He was reputed to be a Spaniard, and
it waa only when he landed in England
that it was revealed that he is a young
Chicago architect.
To make the feat still more surpris­
ing, Moissant waa totally ignorant of
the geography of his course. He bad
never l>e«n in England and was obliged
to rely entirely on the compass while
crossing tho channel in the tooth of
a strong easterly wind.
The channel flight was an incident in
the aerial voyage from Paris to lx>n-
don. Moissant left lasy Tuesday with
llubert Latham and reached Amiens in
two hours. Latham's aeroplane waa
wrecked, and Moissant, leaving Amiens
at an early hour, headed for Calais.
His mechanician, Albert Fileux, who
had accompanied him across the conn,

for the dash acrosa the channel.
Thousards who had gathered to
watch the daring aviator were amazed
and urged bin sat to make the at­
tempt in the face of the half gale that
was blowing.
Moissant cared nothing for the warn­
ings of ihe ¡reople, and even the fact
that there waa no torpedo boat to fol­
low in hrs wake, but only a alow mov­
ing tug, did not deter him. He made
the trip in 37 minutes. When he de­
scended his eyes were bloodshot and
greatly inflamed as a result of the
heavy ram storm into which he drove
on approaching the Englsh coast.
The high wind beat the rain into tho
faces of the men like bail, and almost
blinded them. An average height of
wren 300 and 400 feet was main­
tained over the water. The cold wae
Intense, and both Moissant and his
mechanician were benumbed. When he
revived sufficiently he laughed and said
to an interviewer:
