He ER STONE BRITISHERS CONQUER THE ATLANTIC. * The conquest of the Atlantic by air has at last been accomplished, and i is particularly gratifying that it has been conquered by Britishers. The news of the arrival in Ireland of 'the Vimy plage and its crew has re vived the great interest displayed in trafs-Atlantic fight aroused by the exploit of Hawker and Grieve, and Capt. Alcock and Eféut. Brown have their places In the rapks of the meh of great courage and daring who bave all along acted sas ploneers in the conquest of the alr. Their ek pleit is by far the finest yet accom- plished, and the short time taken to make the trip is very notable, especially in contrast to the time taken by the American pilots who crossed by. way of the Azores and Lisbon to Europe, Without desiring in any way to de- tract from that feat, Mt can safely be said that it will not bear comparison with the efforts of the British airmen, The Yankees took very little chances. They miade the trip in three jumps, and at each halt they waited for favorable weather conditions. The route which they followed was well patrolled by warships supplied by * American government. Their ma chines were seaplanes, able to travel in the water as well-as in the air, S0 that the chances they ran were small compared with fhe risks taken by the intrepid British aviators who took the air at Newfoundland and made one big dash across the At. 'antic, unescorted by ships, and en- tirely at the mercy of the changing elements to be eéncountered on the lomig Journey. - The flight of the Atlantic shows once again that British pluck and daring lead the world. Hawker ana Grieve took a desperate clianceds in their frail Sopwith plane, With Success almost in their grasp, they came down 'dn mid-ocean and 'were rescued from a watéry grave, amd after being mourned as lost for a week, they returned to their friends. Theirs was a 'splendid example 'of reckless British courage, and it de sefved a better fate. And now the names of Alcock and Brown are cou- pled with theirs. These two flying officers, mounted on a Vimy aero- plane, a large type of machine, lost no time in following in the footsteps of Hawker and Grieve. As soon as thelr machine was assembled and teady for flight, they hopped off in defiance of the perils of the unknown alr eurrémts of the. Atlantic. With no ships to guide them ahd to pro- tect them from accident, they flew Straight as an arrow to the Irish ,| Coast. and in sixteen hours landed there. Their exploit is a magnificent one, and they deserve all the honor and praise that can' be showered oday | 1D them.
