weather which prevailed here today,
the crew of the monoplane Friend
ship tentatively set dawn tomorrow
for the take off on their flight to
Europe. Favorable reports on the
weather over the Atlantic were re
ceived by Pilot William Stultz. With
Stultz will be Miss Amelia Earhart,
Boston aviatrix, and Louis . Girdon,
mechanic.
The three fliers have been here
since Monday, when they arrived
from Boston after stopping off at
Halifax because of a fog. Miss Ear
hart hopes to be the first woman to
make the trans-Atlantic hops and
has been impatient at the delays en
forced by bad weather.
Mechanic Gordon gave the Friend
ship another inspection today and
found everything in order for the
flight. The plane is fueled and stock
ed with necessary provisions altho
additional food will be taken on just
before the hop off.
Chance that the monoplane
Friendship might take off for Eu
rope tomorrow morning became
slight late tonight as an increasing
fog brought with it a heavy rain.
