The seaplane `N.C.4' arrived at Herta last Saturday afternoon. This seaplane was piloted by Lieutenent- Commander Read. The other two seaplanes were forced to descend before reaching the Azorea. One of them had been blown a good deal off ite course. All the seaplanes were hampered and puzzled by drifting fog.
