mav arise during the aerial voyage.
The order 'contains more than two
thousand words and is one of the
most comprehensive ever issued bv
the department. , '
When the plan for the trnns-Atlnn-tic
flight was first conceived, the task
of safeguarding the seaplanes and of

stroyer force. The order, which was

Large Naval Patrol ' -The
order provides for the station
ing and subsenuent movements of b'O
destroyers, four battleships and a'
number of -auxiliary naval
vessels in ' connection " with the
flight. Although issued at
New , York a month prior to
the actual start of the hazardous
lournev. the details of the order have
been followed without the least hitch
throughout the project.
The route which the seaplanes ore
to take to the Azores is marked bv a
ribbon of destroyers stationed about
50 miles apart. These vessels have
been on thefr stations for several days
nnd have kept the department here
and the navul offieiuls ut Trcpassev
Bav constantly informed ns to met-
eorologican conditions along the
course.
In addition to the destroyers four
battleships, the Floridu, Utah. Teas
und Wyoming, have been stationed on
the outskirts of the course to fur
nish further meteoroligical data
throughout the flight.
The seaplanes are in constant com
munication with the naval vessels at
at times. Everv precaution has been
taken to safeguard the fivers.. In ad
dition to the radio communication the
destroyers along the route are pro
vied with special illuminating torch
es, star shells and flares for use at
night to mark the course and are in
constant readiness to answer S. O. S.
enlls or other distress signnls, should
accident befall one of the big planes.
