Foynes, Ireland, occupying 16 hours 45l minutes. A N.A.N.A. has received a niessage from Gaptain Gray, of the trans-Atlan-tic Clipper III at Botwood, stating that despite the highly satisfactory nature of both crossings the problem of the establishment of a trans-Atlantie servica is far from solved. Due to the variable weather conditions more than one route must be flown and solved. "We are not able to give a satisfactorily glowing picturo of what flying the Atlantic is like," said Captain Gray. "That will come later when the Atlantic represents a course instead of a mathematical problem."
