AIR FLIGHT Captain Alcock and Lieuten ant Brown Land in Ireland After Thrilling Voyage LONDON, June. 16. Major Murry of the United States army air service has telegraphed the following mes sage to Captain John Alcock at Clif den, Ireland: "As the representative of the Unit ed States army air service in Great Britain, I' take great pleasure in ex tending to you and your splendid crew heartiest congratulations on your brilliant achievement." LONDON", June 15. When the Vlckers-Vlmy biplane driven by Cap tain John Alcock, was sighted cross ing the Irish coast, says a dispatch to the Dally Mail from Cllfden, Gal way, an airplane flew out to render assistance. This machine landed near the Vimy but unfortunately was wrecked, owing to the softness of the ground. When tho Vlckers-Vlmy" machine landed. Lieutenant Arthur W. Brown the navigator, said to Captain Al cock: "What do you think of that for fancy navigating? and the pilot of the machine responded: "Very good." Tho two. men who has just completed an epoch-making voyago then shook hands. I'.otli Men Dazed Lieutenant Brown was slightly In jured on the nose and mouth by the jolt given the aviators when the ma chine struck the ground. Both men were dazed and were unable to walk steadily for some minutes. They quickly recovered, however, and were escorted to the wireless station. They distributed cigarettes as sou venirs, and gave away the small dog and rat which were mascots during the trip. The entire equipment was rain-soaked by the downpour during the journey. No Ship Sighted Describing the trip the aviators said they had a very trying ordeal, Captain Alcock saying that the sun came out only once when the biplane had attained a height of 11.000 feet. Only three astronomical observations were possible during the voyage. The altitude of the machine varied from a few feet from the water up to 13, 000 feet and the fliers never sighted a single ship. "I didn't know once during the night whether I was upside down or not," said Captain Alcock. "Once we ascended hurriedly when we saw the green Atlantic only 30 feet be low." The breaking away of the propel ler generating current for the wire less apparatus soon after the start prevented the men from communicat ing with the shore. When it hap pened, Lieutenant Brown noticed that the propeller had carried away with It one of the stay wires, but he did not tell Captain AIcock until after they had landed at Clifden. When Alcock learned of the incident he said: "I would have turned back had I known." Weather Is Hail Weather conditions wore very bad DETROIT. Mich.. Juno 10.

V NO. 7:1 during the trip and Lieutenant Brown had to climb from his seat to clear the Ice away from the petrol gauge. After breakfast today Lieutenant Brown went to bed, while Captain Alcock Inspected the machine. The lieutenant, however, was unable to sleep and soon got up. By noon both were looking perfectly well and wil lingly distributed autographs to ad mirers, captain Alcock wanted to fly to England in a borrowed plane, but his companion observed: "I have bad enough flying for a bit." Captain Alcock exhibited a bunch of rain-soaked letters which he had been asked to mail If the flight was successful, saying: "I am the first trans-Atlantic postman." Once in Danger The two aviators said they were only once In real danger, when the machine went into a flat spin, ow ing to the pilot being nnable to tell how the machine was moving. Lieu tenant Brown, noticing that the com pass needle was swinging from Bide to side, managed to get CaptaInAl cock to understand the difficulty. The machine traveled at a rate of 140 miles an hour at times, and the pilot onco found himself diving straight toward the surface of the ocean. Ho was so near the water that he had to "snatch" the machine from Its dive so quickly that It almost looped the loop. He says the machine would have crumpled up had it touched the water at the speed It was then trav eling. , ; The biplane is being guarded by soldiers and It is probable It will be necessary to dismantle It. . ST. JOHNS. N. F., June 10. By applying methods of marine naviga tion to an air flight, Lieutenant Ar thur Whltton Brown expected to fly across the Atlantic In the Vlmy Bom ber machine, piloted by Captain Jack Alcock, and to "make a landfall" within twenty or thirty miles of his objective in Ireland or England. Lieutenant Brown was an Amer ican electrical engineer before ,he joined the British flying service in 1914. He has described In a state ment which he has prepared for the Associated Press an interesting de scription of the difficulties encoun tered in a trans-Atlantic flight and the methods by which he hoped to overcome them. "la flying an airplane over large bodies' of water such as the Atlantic ocean where the pilot may be for hours out of sight of any landmarks by which ho could judge his position. It Is to the methods of navigation which have been developed by tho mariners that the pilot turns to learn where the location and the course to his destination is," writes Lieutenant Brown. "Unfortunately difficulties arise from the start in applying these methods ,with accuracy. This Is true because the airplane is at the mercy of the wind and appears to move in the direction In which the wind blows with the speed at which It is blown.
