TWO NEW EXPEDITIONS
By the Associated Press
Washington. May 13. Dispatches to
Hie 'Navy Department today from
Tippnssey 15ay indicated that the naval
seaplanes NC-1 nnd NC-fl nt New

.ntlantic flight for nt least twenty -four
hours. Commander John II. Towers.
chief of the cxpidition, said heavy sem
were mnning and that n storm xvas
coming down on the course to the
Azores.
The XC--1 also is weatherbound at
Chatham, Mass., am; officials hero re
gard i ns improbable that she xvill bo
in the overseas flight, ns Commander
Towcrs's message indicated he xxotild
start as soon ns weather conditions per
mitted without xvniting the nrrivnl of
the NC-1 nt Trepnssey.
Trepassey, y. I, May l.'i. ( B.v A.
!) Reports of high sons iu midocean,
xvith easterly winds over the xvestern
half of the American navj's trnnsat
lanticp flight route made it hicl.lv im
probable that the seaplanes NC-1 nnd
NC-3 would take the nir totlny for the

In this vicinity wind and visibility

were "the best for -om time."

month, Captain !'. S. Bennett begun
an inspection of n possible site of the
Bolton and Paul tluee-seater, while
Captain A. A. Aluott and A. W.
Brown conducted negotiations for the
housing of their Viiny machine.
Owing to the scat city of invornlile
hangar locations, it w.as thought prob
nble that the Britishprs, whose planes
xxere expected to reach bote iu time for
a flight in June, xxotild use the ground
to be vacated by Hawker and Itnynbnni
