WAITS SMOOTH SEA FOR SPEED PLANEJRIALS Lieutenant Williams Hopes to Set New World Record in Mystery Ship. BY HERBER LITTLE Cnltfd Press Stiff Correspondent ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Aug. 15.—After a week of grooming and perfecting his mount. Lieutenant A1 Williams hoped tod a” for a smooth sea to make his first flying test of the Mercury, a 1,100-horse-power racing plane which resembles a larg# water bug. over Chesapeake bay. Hope for an official world speed record over a secluded and patrolled three-kilometer course near Kent island, across the bay, Is held by Williams. An electro-photographic timing apparatus has been installed on barger to time his flight. He will ha r to beat the present record of 313 miles an hour, set by an Italian in 1023, by more than five miles to have it recognized officially. Leaves L T . S. Next Week Williams after his tests here this week, will have his tiny plane, and ai. additional special motor, said to bs even more powerful than the one already installed, shipped to England next week. He will fly the Mercury in the Schneider cup races at Cowes Sept. 6 and barring an accident during the present tests his pri-vately-built plane will compete with ihe fastest planes developed by the British and Italian governments. The tiny Mercury today was "under wraps" on the naval academy dock in Santee basin off the Severn river, with its “mother ship.” the mine-sweeper Sandpiper, and a barge equipped with a special en-gine-starter, standing by. A hoist on the Sandpiper is used to lower the two-ton machine into the water, and the starter barge is backed over to the floating plane, ;>• and locked.lo it while the engine is spun. Williams spends most of his waking hours by the plane at the end cv the dock, tinkering with the machine and anxiously scanning the horizon to see if the wind will abate. 110 Miles an Hour to Start Even mild “white-cap" waves on the water make a flight and take-off impossible. The heavy machine must attain a speed of 110 miles an hour on the surface before it will lift into the air. The plane is unique in the design of the motor, a twenty-four-cylinder affair shaped like an “X" with four banks of cylinders—and in the fact that the single wing is mounted in the middle of the fuselage. In flight, it will resemble a bullet, with a plane extending through its center, and two pontoons below. The pontoons and wings both have surface radiators, so that the engine cooling system operates equally well w hen the plane is in the water and in the air. The gasoline tanks are in the pontoons. Lepers Escape Colony BUCHAREST. Rumania, Aug. 15. —Twenty inmates of the leper colony near Ismail, Bessarabia, escaped during a revolt against alleged bad food, bad housing and their general treatment and went to the prefecture at Ismail, where they sought to lodge a complaint.
