LONDON, July 22,
Leaving the Pendine Sands, Wales, at noon today, Mr. J. A. Mollison and his wife, Mrs. Amy Mollison, started on their attempt to make a non-stop flight to New York. Their only rations were two flasks of coffee and some raisins,and barley sugar. They hope to reach New York in 34 hours. Amy will do the piloting most of the daytime and her husband will take the controls at night.
The 'Mollisons. left the London Aero Club's aerodrome at 7.45 a.m. and'refuelled at Pendine. At noon the machine taxied to the end of the Sands and turned, giving a seven miles run if necessary, but the Seafarer, when started, began to climb after running 900 yards. The Mollisons circled the beach and then headed for the Atlantic, escorted by four aeroplanes, which wore soon outdistanced.
(Received July 24, 9 a.m.)
HALIFAX (Nova Scotia), July 23. An aeroplane, believed to be the Mollisons, was sighted here at 12.45 p.m.
