Hawker Relates
Story ofs Flight
Continued from Pale Ons
TVe were fairly In n fou with the clouds
low' nrnl were almost on top of her be
fore we saw her.
"We se'nt up our very light distress
signals. These were answered promptly
and then we flew on about two miles
and landed In the wnter ahead of the
steamship.
"We. made n very good landing, al
though the sea was high. The ma
chine floated at an even keel well out
of the wnter.
"Machine Hegltis to Sink
"We watched the steamship np
preaching and put out our own boat nnd
stood by In case the machine should
break up and sink, which she began to
dqrapldly In the heavy sea. The sea
was running up to twelve feet nnd
breaking right over the machine nnd us.
"Our life-saving suits kept us dry
and for an hour nnd a half we watched
the crew trying to launch a lifeboat.
The Mary was only 200 yards nwny.
"After much difficulty the Jtfcboat
Micceedcd In reaching lis. We boarded
the lifeboat nnd were pulled to the shlp
by a line.
"Owing to the heavy sea It was im
possible to save nnythlng. When we got
to the ship we were without our boots
nnd caps, while Clrieve also had lost
his coat. Wo were very sorry to lose
n lot of valuable instruments nnd the
mail.
"Climbing aboard we found thnt Cap
tain Duhn spoke very good Knglish.
Jlc had been afraid that we would go
down before his bont reached us."
The aviators were picked up at 8:!!0
i.' m. Greenwich time, Monday, May
10.
In Mill of Time
Describing his reception on the Mary.
Hawker said that Captain Duhn said to
him :
"Another hour nnd you would have
gone down.
Hawker said that the captain thought
the aviators were Americans. The res
cued men were struck with the casual
manner in which the captain took the
whole business, as If it were nn every
day affair to take airmen out of the
Atlantic. The nvifttors asked the cap
tain his beariugs and what likelihood
there was of meeting n ship mid get
ting' into the mnin route of steamers. At
that time the captain thought there was
n very good chnncc of sighting n ship
with wireless nt nny moment.
Monday night the storm got worse nnd
the Mary had to heave to, making nbout
one knot nn honr in a northerly direc
tion. This took the steamer off the ship
ping route and lessened the chance of
meeting Another ship.
Hawker said that he nnd Grieve slept
or tried to sleep most of the time. They
drank ten and read the eaptnin's Kng
lish books. They saw the lighthouse -at
St. Kilda but were unable to communi
cate with land until the ship reached
the lluft of Lewis.
Declare Motor Reliable
"I want to emphasize," Hawker told
the correspondent, "that the fault was
not due to the motor which was reliable
in ciery way. rrt'nning satisfactorily
from start to finish. Kven after all the
water had boiled away, the motor was
still running merrily, although it was
red hot when wc nltghted on the water."
The correspondent adds that there
were amazing scenes on the trip through
the Scottish Highlands to Inverness. At
every station women threw flowers nnd
kisses to the rescued nviators'and men
clung tothc train and sought to enter
it while it was moviug. Hawker and
Grieve shook hnnds with hundreds in a
cheering crowd which had invaded the
Inverness station.
On their arrival nt Inverness the
aviators received a telegram from King
George inrltlng them to Buckingham
I'alace on Wednesday.
When Hawker nnd Grieve arrived at
Kdinburgh today they were seized as
they left the train and lifted to the
shoulders of n crowd which bore them
to n hotel, where they had breakfast.
They were heartily cheered when their
train left Kdlnburgli station at 10
o'clock.
Lieutenant Commander Grieve gave
the Dally Mail the following statement:
"When n few hundred miles out n
strong northerly gale drove us steadily
out of our course. It was not nlwnjs
possible, owing to the pressure of dense
masses of clouds, to take our bear
ings, nnd 'I calculate that at the time
we determined to cut ncross the" ship
ping route wc were nbout 200 miles
out of our course. ,
Up to this chnnge of direction we
had covered about 3000 miles of the
journey to the Irish coast."

been a matter of doubt whether the
jenrs after the war do not Involve
grenter hardship and suffering for the
people thnn the years of war Itself. AVe
shall probably find In this country that
some of our greatest burdens are still
ahead."
Mr. Penrose Not Present
Here Mr. Uornh Intimated that Sena
tor Penrose didn't favor n proper dis
tribution of tax burdens. Such a policy
he snid. referring to that attributed to
the Pennsylvania senator, represented
n sure tniyins for the breeding of unrest
and boMicvism in the I'liltcd States.
Sir. Penrose did not nt tend the con
ference. Mr. Lodge suld nothing be-
jond the staccato announcements which
ordinarily fall to the cMiairman of n
meeting.
Mr. Hornh was most earnest nt the
beginning of his nddiess when he said,
two or three times, thnt the difference
of view I dative to revenue theories was
the only difference thnt existed between
him and his colleagues in the Senate.

Such was the end of the Progresshc
movement thnt began with western lte-
publlcans six months ago. Itornh went
from the conference complctlcy defeated
and humbled.
The open party caucus was without
precedent in Washington. It represent
ed n condition imposed upon the Re
publican lenders by Senator Horah who,
when he found that he could defeat Pen
rose only by deadlocking the Senate
and throwing the balance of power to
the Democrats, demanded an open hear
ing nt which he, could state ills position
clearly1 a course that is impossille In
the usual party caucus behind closed
doors.
The Idoho senator had threatened to
carry his fight to the Senate floor if the
leaders refused to'nccept that way out
of the dilemma. Mr. Lodge therefore
announced nt the opening of the scsslou
thnt the conference was' held to "recon
sider" the action taken previously by
the party conferences which have just
npproved Penrose as finnncc chairman
and Warren as chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations.
, Harmony was established in three
quarters of on hour, llorah and his
progressive associates intimated plainly
thnt they will vote from this on with the
Republican majority. The conference
was exquisitely stage mnnaged. The
guests of honor were lienfed In the cor
ridors nnd kept there for twenty min
utes while the rehearsal was on. Then
they were admitted in a solemn proces
sion. Mr. Dornh spoke with considerable
feeling. He snid it would be wrong to
suppose that there was anything per
sonal in the recent opposition to Sena
tor Peurose within the party.
"I am not challenging the Intelligence
of Senator Penrose," snid he. "I am
simply expressing n difference of view
in relation to finnncc and-taxation that
certainly will cause-n permanent cleav
age sooner or later in the Republican
party. The views expressed by the
Pennsylvania senator since he arrived
recently in Washington make it plain
that the coming finance and revenue
bills will be modeled after the finance
and revenue bills passed at the last two
sessions of Congress.
"I hold that it it were not for general
interest in the league of nations the
country would'now be profoundly con
cerned nbout the manner in which the
stupendous debts and obligations left
to us by the war are to be met.

Their Pride Is a Deeper
Thing
The fact that an Overland Model 90 stoch car broke
the world's non-stop high gear record, does not add to
the pride of Model 90 owners.
Their pride is a deeper thing. It has developed
through weeks, and months and years of wonderful
personal experience with Model 90 cars, under the
trying conditions of every days demands.
It means something to every man, of course, to
know that his car is an exact duplicate of the Model 90
that smashed the world's record.
But the great satisfaction is in knowing as Model 90
owners know, that your car looks and performs as a
thoroughbred car should, everywhere, all the time.
To really know how well a car can be built for
$985.00 you must know Model 90.
