GERMAN FLYING BOAT.
ATLANTIC CRUISE OFF. LONDON, Nov. 17. The Berlin, correspondent of the Daily Express, states: “Although the Dornier Do. X is likely to continue to the Azores, the idea of a trans-Atlan-tic flight has been practically abandoned. Several incidents during the preliminary stages have caused the ’plane’s designer to reconsider the project. At the present period 0 f the year it is extremely foggy and overrisky to attempt to refuel in midocean.
A msesage from Bordeaux states that French police were called out at the instance of Dr. Dornier to guard the Do. X, which is in danger of interference from souvenir hunters. Tomorrow fifty Frenchmen will be invited to make a short flight.
