awaiting him eagerly a chance to
catch a glimpse of the plane. Then
he headed back to the field and came
down.
FAVORABLE WINDS HELPED

winds enabled the Columbia to nego
tiate the open sea between Cape Race
and the British Isles in 21 hours. Xot
until Chamberlin entered the channel
than the meteororogical conditions
turned unfavorable. Chamberlin said:
“When we got above Bologne Sur
Mer we decided to steer a northeaster
ly course and head for Coblenz, al
though I don't knowr wdiether we actu
ally flew in that direction. About 5:30
in the morning I observed we were
running low, so decided to drop down
i
for replenishment. Refilling the pe
trol tanks was a most disagreeable
function. We threw* empty cans over
board occasionally. A full one went
that way, too. But I w*as desirous of
reducing ballast.”
Chamberlin admitted that Berlin
was the goal after first landing. A
hundred litres of petrol had to be
hauled on a bicycle from a distant
garage to the plane, which delayed the
takeoff w'hich put them in the fog.
