NOT A JOKE.
Stowaway Thrilled At Air Experience. STORMY ATLANTIC CROSSING. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) PARIS, June 17. After the Ycllowbird, containing the trans-Atlantic flyers, had arrived at Le Bourget aerodrome, Paris, M. Assolant, pilot, said that he discovered the stowaway ten minutes after they left Old Orchard, United States. It was a very rough, and stormy journey. Schreiber, the uninvited passenger, sometimes became anxious and handed into the cockpit notes written in crude French asking how they were getting on. The co-pilots gave one stereotyped answer: "It is all right."
In an interview Schreiber said: "This crossing business is not a joke. It thrilled me the way in which the airmen found their way in the clouds and fog."
