FLYING THE ATLANTIC.
THE DREAMS THAT DID NOT COME TRUE.
When Lieut. Commander Hi C. Macdonald, whit) set out from Newfoundland in a Moth to fly the Atlantic was first reported missing, Sir Basker, the manipulative surgeon' dreamed that he saw the missing airman east away on a rocky island, and told Mrs Macdonald so. Another friend had an identical dream, so his wife, who hoped that she was not his widow, went to the Admiralty to see if there might be any hope iof her husband being found on Rockall, a lonely island 200 miles west of Scotland. The c|fficial, however, had to shake his head, like a doctor who knows there is no hope, and tell her that it was only a rock. Incidentally Air ViceMarshall Sir Seftpn Branckner, said that before the flight he was prepared to “bet 10 to 1- on the commander.”
