YOUNG BOY EXPIRES AT' ( Cl \ ER HOSPITAL

HARBOR GRACE, N. F„ Oct 10— (UP)-The monoplane Columbia, which loft here yesterday on an attempted non-stop flight to London was believed fighting bad weather in mid-
ocean today.
Although reports of the plane’s progicss were meager, the latest advices indicated that ('apt. J. Errol Boyd and Lt. Harry Connor were making scarcely 80 miles an hour on the first half of the trip. Weather forecasts warned of rain and poor visibility over the greater par' of their course. Although the winds were said to be in their favor. Since Boyd and Connor carried no radio equipment, the only word of their progress necessarily came from the few ships along their route. The steamer Lancistriq reported ^sighting the plane al 5:40 p. m., yesterday ab ut 475 miles from here. The Columbia, which Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine flow from New York to Germany in 1927, fared a trip of 2,400 miles be fore reaching Croydon Airdrome, ju-t outside the British capital. Boyd and Connor had sufficient fuel aboard to fly for 40 hours. They had hoped to reach Croydon in less than 21 hours, however, Connor’s navigating placed the . hip in a position to take advantage of the favorable winds despite the inclement weather conditions. When sighted hy the Gmeastria the Columbia was southeast of here, following a northwest wind which was expected to shift to the west when the fliers had completed half of their journey. Ordinarily the airmen would follow the Great Circle course* to the n rthwest, but by deviating and takug full advantage of the tailwinds, tl" y apparently Indicted they could make fa. ter time. The ex|>erience of the fliers and the worthiness of their machine led to the belief here that the flight would be successful. It was believed that Connor iniulit have some difficulty in making observations, as fog continued here after the ship had
taken off.
A low pressure storm area 1 was reported moving southeast from Iceland toward.' Ireland and England. The nature of the area had not been determined in weather reports received here, hut it was believed that Boyd and Connor couhj fly around it without difficulty. A decreasing gasoline load would enable Capt. Boyd to seek more favorable winds in higher altitudes as In neared the coast of Ireland.
