ATLANTIC FLIGHT.
CLIPPER LEAVES IRELAND. VALUE OF DAYLIGHT JOURNEY. (United Press Association —Copyright.) LONDON, August 6. The Pan-American clipper left Foynes (Ireland), at 4.19 a.m. for America. Captain Harold Gray (commander of the clipper) says that the real object of the daylight trans-Atlantic crossing is to study the working of the radio system during daylight. “It will be necessary to work on different wave-lengths,” lie said. “We hope to investigate a number of things and the trip should yield valuable data. There is a patch in mid-Atlantic we have not yet seen because it hitherto has been covered in darkness.” HEADWINDS AND LIGHT RAIN. (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, August 6. Messages from the Pan-American clipper indicate that she was encountering slight rain and a steady head’ wind over the Atlantic.—British Official Wireless.
