Following a week of conflicting reports, it is now definitely established that De Pinedo, with his seaplane crew, arrived at Horta Island, Fayal, Azores, in the Italian steamer Superga, which has been assisting the aviator since 24th May., The Bteamer towed the seaplane, and winds and waives combined to delay the arrival. De Pinedo, interviewed,. Btated that he eneoun-
tered thick fog . and strong head winds immediately after he left Trepassey, which finally necessitated his alighting on the water near the fishing schooner Infnnte Sagres. He had sufficient petrol to continue the flight if the weather improved, but as the head wind continued he agreed to be towed. A large crowd greeted him on arrival. De Pinedo declared that he would resumo the flight, but must await a mechanic and extra parts from Italy.
