A Six -Roomed House with Wings Fifty-five passengers left ' New York in the Dixie Clipper that day but more than half of them stayed in Bermuda. They sat around. in six theme, meet of them large enough for ten persoim, for the Clipper is as large as a house inside, and upstairs the eleven men ofthecrew sataround in another room which the passengers never saw. It took. 20 minutestoget the Dixie Clipper up 'off .the water. It taxied back and forth over the bay while the pilot tried the feel of the wind against the wings and manoeuvred for the Longest run over the water. threewe passed three of Uncle Sam's new motor to'rped'o boats, each one with two machine gun turrets and four torpedo tubes, We were. almost tench- kg, enchung ..one 'of New 'York's marvellous bridges before we finally started down the bay at full speed. Spray flew up over the Iittle square .'windows and loon the slap -slap of the waves against the bottom of the hull grew less violent and then disappeared -- and the Clipper was hi. the . air, Lt circled over the edge of New York twice, gaining height, and then turned east over the marshes and swamps and., then the broad Atlantic. Two ships were nearing the coast. After that, nothing but waves and clouds n every direction. Wonderland Above the Clonal Flying the Atlantic, as I said be- fore, is pure magic. One does not realize itat first. Flying was not • new sensation for me. L had been doing it for 20 years in planes large and smail, but never for more than a few hours at a time. This was differ- ent. I sat on a sofa with two others. One was a young American girl who had saved her money for a luxury holiday in Bermuda; the other a De- troit newspaper man returning to Europe. The plane washeated and air- onditioned. Even the wall covering added to the feeling of luxury for it was a tapestry with maps of the con inents and oceans. Dinner consisted of consomme, chicken salad, ice cream and coffee. All these things were mere man- made attempts at comfort. The real magic was outside the windows. Every time T looked out, the long, lender, pointed wing was still there with its two whirring propellors, Fax down below us were the clouds, for we flew at 6,000 to 9,000 feet where he air is still and there are few bumps. It was fortunate that we had loud& all the way aerose. The Arlan-, ic, seen from that height, grows des- perately monotonous when the air is fear but clouds are always changing /tape and color. The sun set behind a distant row of thick clouds which- looked like a far-off mountain range. A long path of yellow light stretched over the whiteness. of the nearby clouds. They ooked like masses of spun sugar and r. As the sun dropped a.way, the ky flamed with color. In three -quay ers of the dome of heaven, it was already night but out in the west the full range of the spectrum stretched across the sky, brilliant red at the horizon, going up through the yellows and the blues to the deep indigo of night overhead with a few stars al- ready brightly shining. .. Lightning Around the Wings Nearing Portugal, we met a high hunderstorm, This time, the Clipper seemed unable to rise above it. The clouds were close around and often we were in them, like a thick fog. The lightning was around us, too, ometimes just .beyond the wings, but here was no sound of thunder above he roar of the motors. It was bumpy, too, and for the first time, two /tidies felt sick and strapped themselves to their seats, For some others, men and women alike, it was just a new and enjoyable sensation. At night, the steward' made upp the berths. That was after we had left Bermuda. There were 23 passengers then and room for them all to sleep. I had one of the worst positions— up close to the wing and number three and four engines—but the bed was comfortable and there was a rhythm to the noise that was soothing, so L slept well. Outside the window there was a tiny •sliver of new moon and the very bright stars. Magic Doesn't Always Work Yes, flying the Atlantic is magic but sometimes in thehandsof hard- headed .Americans the magic goes wrong. We should have left New York on Tuesday morning and have been in Lisbon on Wednesday night. But number four engine wasn't be- having too well even before we left New York. Oet of Bermuda six hours, the Clipper turned back because of bad weather ahead. Ow the' second try, we reached the Azores, bet after landing there for more gettable, the ailing engine died as: we were oppos- ite the last islands of the group and we turned back to Herta, where the Atlantic Clipper came along and picked us up, taking us the rest of , the way. Eben food ran short at last before we dropped down out of the darkness on to the Tagus River at Lisbon on Friday night; We had been 47 hours in the air instead of the usual 23, and had done some 2,500 ex- tra miles) orf flying. And the next morning, we were in the air again, this time headed for England.

The crew are PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD; Ottawa Canada lined up, the Articles of War are read, and the commanding officer takes over the ship.

Kenney, the commanding officer, Lt. Le Rue, first officer ,and Sub -Lieut. Spiers, 2nd officer, and eon_ ducted over the ship. This tour of inspection was deepy interesting to all. Compactness, and efficiency were in evidence everywhere and not an inch of space seemed wasted The men of the party visited the engine room and found it a tightly packed maze of mechanical and elec- trical equipment. The quarters of the officers and crew seemed a sung fit for the complement of men carried, five officer& and fifty-six ratings. The ladies were particularly interested in the galley, which apart from the large cooking range was about as big as a fair-sized pantry. They also saw the chart room and spent some time with "Sparks" in the wireless cabin. —Go- derieh Signal Star. -v— WHAT YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS CAN ACCOMPLISH $5 may bring down a German plane for it will buy one round of 40 m.m. anti-aircraft shells. $5 will stop .a Hun with live rose chine -gun bursts, • $5 will let a soldier fight for you with 100 rounds of rifle ammunition. $10 willstop a tank,with one round of. 18 or .25 -pounder shells. $20 buys a cannonade of four 3.7 - inch anti-aircraft shells. $75 will provide a 500-1b. bomb to drop over Berlin or Berchtesgaden., GERMANS 110MB BRITISH PARL'IAMENT HOUSE; Shattered) masonry, 'charred timhers, rabble: end debris• fill .this ture of the Chamber of :the British House of Coh mons,' after it had been hit by bombs from German air raiders.'. , 11111 The Nazis have not in reality destroyed the house of Commons, for that does not exist in bricks and mo rtar, but in the long story that has created the free spirit of the British people.
