PREPARATIONS FOR START. 2.30 on SundayI rose at the Terminus Hotel, at Calais, and at three o cloak departed with mypinch friend, M. Le Blanc in a motor car to $argues. On aur way we noted that the weather was favorable to my endeavor. We therefore order- ed the torpedo destroyer Escopette generously platted at my disposal by our Government, to start. 'At 3.30 a•m, we went to the gar- age and examined the aeroplane, which is my eleventh. I started the engine and found that it worked well. All was read for the start, y "At four o'clock I took my seat in the aeroplane and made a trial flight of one quarter of an hour around Calais and its environs. The circuit was about fifteen kilometres (9% miles). Having completed it, I descended upon the spot on the cliff from which I intended to start. "Here I waited for the sun to come out, the conditions of Ina London Daily Mail prize requiring that I should fly between sunrise and sunset. "At 4.30 we could see all round. Daylight had come. M. Le Blanc endeavored to see the coast of Eng- land, but could not. A light breeze from the southwest was blowing. The air was clear. "BEGINS THE FLIGHT. "Everything was prepared. I was dressed as I am as this moment, a `khaki' jacket lined with wool for warmth over my tweed clothes and beneath my engineer's suit of blue cotton overalls. My elose-fitting cap was fastened over my head and ears, I had neither eaten nor drunk anything since I rose.
