He left Les Earaques, on the French coast, at 4.33, and ar- rived in the North Foreland mea- dow, two miles east of Dover, 37 minutes later. The air-line distance between the two places is about 24 miles, but Bleriot flew nearly thirty. He got lost in mid-chan- nel, having been without a com- pass and out of sight of land. When the haze lifted and he was able to .see the English coast, he found his traveling almo.st east. He swung round, and with perfect control of I the machine flew west against a ' strong breeze, which had sprung ; up, and landed with little difficulty on a favorable spot. His speed ] throughout the trip exceeded forty niiles an hour, and he completely outdistanced the torpedo-boat de- stroyer, aboard of which was his wife, which was endeavoring to keep him in sight. Bleriot's success makes him the I wisner of the prize of £l,0<)0 o£- ' fered by the Daily Mail to the first man who crossed the Channel in a heavier-than-air machine.
