Commissioner of Public
Works Downing Visited
Projects Here I-ast W7eek
Sen. Les Bronson reports that
he conferred with Richard Down
ing when the latter was here last
week and Mr. Downing said that
the priority for the Teller - Tin
City road will probably be re
vised upward. The Commissioner
of Public Works said the road had
been listed previously as being
13th on the list of needed road
projects.
Bronson also said Mr. Down
ing told him that bids would be
let for construction of roads on
both the Teller highway and the
Taylor highway.
He said it is understood that
work on the Teller road will be
conducted from both ends, and
that the engineering work for
the road from Coffee Dome into
the Kougarok has been completed.
Mr. Downing also inspected the
the work being done to lengthen
the landing strip at Basin Creek,
being performed by Herb Eng
strom.
Stowaway Crosses The
Atlantic In Wheel Well
Of Four-Engine Transport
HAMILTON, Bermuda, UPI — A
transatlantic airliner landed here
Saturday with a 17-year-old boy
stowed away in its nosewheel
compartment. Daniel Correra de
Melo made the hazardous 1,900
mile trip from his home in the
Azores after running away be
cause of an argument with his
father.
Fate was on his side. The pilot
of the four - engine Venezuelan
Airliner Superconstellation chose
to fly over the ocean at 8,000 feet
instead of the usual altitude of
18,000.
“If we had done that, the boy
would have suffocated through
lack of oxygen and frozen to
death as well,” said navigator
Eugene Moberg.
De Melo hid in the nosewheel
compartment as the plane was
warming up prior to taking off at
9 p.m. Friday. Moberg said the
crew had an inkling something
was wrong because there was
trouble retracting the wheel and
they heard “a noise like someone
pounding something.”
On arrival in Bermuda at 6:30
a.m. the pilot asked to have the
apparatus checked and a ground
crewman spotted De Melo cling
ing to the landing gear in the
nosewheel well “like a monkey.”
“I guess he would have stayed
there and gone on to Caracas if
no one had noticed him,” said
Moberg. The boy was coaxed
down, taken to the air terminal
and fed. Then he completed the
trip to Venezuela in a more or
thodox manner as a guest of the
airline. He is expected to be re
turned to his home in the Azores
soon.
