FORMED HOP BRIDGE
14 Destroyers Between Azores
and Lisbon Maintained by
Commander Wortman
To a Philadelphia clubman, Com
mander Wnrd Wortman, is due some of
the success of Lieutenant Commander
A. C. ncad, in his flight to Lisbon,
Portugal, in the NO-4.
This becamo known yesterday when
it was announced that protective nnd
directing measures taken by Flotilla
Commander Wortman made possiblo tho
straight course of the first transoceanic
. '
Commander Wortman arranged nnd
maintained fourteen destroyer stations
in tho 800 miles of sea between Ponta
Dclgada nnd Lisbon. He is a member
of tho Itacquct Club and well known
here. Commander Wortman's home in
this city is at 1830 Rlttcnhouso square.
Except for his term of active service
at sea, Commander Wortman has spent
nil his time here, where he has a host
of friends. For a' time he wds attached
to the league Island Navy Yard.
At the time of America's entry into
the war Commander Wortman was a
lieutenant commander. Ho was ad
vanced and placed in charge of a new,
fast destroyer just completed to com
bat submarines. Ho saw plenty of
service, and acquitted himself so splen
didly that tho Navy Department selected
him for tho work of directing the
"bridge of ships" thatwere to co
operate to make the flight of the naval
seaplanes a success.
