Two officers of the Royal Air Force, Captain Alec.* and

Lieutenant Whitten Brown, have flown across the Atlantic. They left Newfoundland at 4.28 p.m. on Saturday last, and they landed at Clifden, on the Weet Coast of Ireland, at 8.40 a.m. on Sunday. Their Vickers Vimy aeroplane with Rolls-Royce engines, which was built for the purpose of an air raid on Berlin. flew over eighteen hundred miles in a little more than sixteen hours without a single mishap. The-airmen were much troubled by fog, rain, and wind, and once found themselves diving into the sea ; but they were none the worse for their great adventure.
