CORRIGAN’S ATLANTIC FLIGHT SPEED OF PLANE 80 TO 90 MILES AN HOUR. AMERICAN AIR OFFICIALS ON “GENTLE DISCIPLINE.” By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 1.55 p.m.) LONDON. July 18. Douglas Corrigan, whose solo flight across the Atlantic is reported in an earlier cablegram, is remaining at Dublin for a few days as the guest of the United States Legation. A message from Washington states that air officials of the Air Commerce Bureau said Corrigan may be put under “gentle discipline” when he returns to the United States. The director of the bureau denied that Mr Mulligan had said the bureau would make every endeavour to keep Corrigan from flying back. Corrigan had only forty gallons of petrol left out of the 320 with which he started. The plane cruises at only 80 to 90 miles an hour. His only provisions were half a gallon of water and some chocolate biscuits. ’
