the Friendship was reported landed
in Wales. “Mother and I have
been watching and waiting all night.
The suspense has been terrible. I
made mother lie down for a little
rest this morning but she eras not
worrying. Amelia is a wonderful
girl and has great courage.”
Not for Thrills
The flight, of “The Girl Lindy’’—
a quiet, fair-haired Boston social
worker —was not for the thrills nor
mere pride of achievement. The
driving force behind the flight wa»
more practical. In the accomplish
ment of the flight she saw an op.
portunity to regain the family
fortune. She made this clear in a
last letter to her sister.
“I have tried to play for a large
stake,” she wrote her sister “Nappy”
(Muriel). “If I succeed, all will be
we|l. If I don’t I shall be happy
.to pop off in the midst of such an
adventure. My only regret would
be leavlng.jKPiL.and mother stranded

It was understod that Miss Ear
hart would receive all the profits
accruing, from books and stories of
the flight as well as stage and f’lm
contracts. “Dusty” Stultz, the pilot,
it wm understood, would receive

“W* made it,” w»re th* jubilant
word* of Miss Earhart.
Pilot Stultz and Mechanic Gordon
grinned their delight over the sue
hazardous voyage.
Beset by fog and bad weather,
the monoplane “flew blind” most of
the way across from Newfoundland
to Wales. Pilot Stultz declared here
this afternoon.
After Miss EarhaH, Pilot Stultz
and Mechanic Gordon had emphati
cally declared they would not leave
the plane. Stultz changed hi* mind
and came ashore to try to speed
up the search for airplane gasoline.
Miss Earhart and Gordon re
mained in the plane.

“No one was ever more thankful
than I to see the coast of Wales.”
said Stultz. “We had *■ bad trlp
all the way. In fact, we were fly
ing blind most of the way.”
The filers did not know just ex
actly where they had descended
until after the plane had settled
upon .the water. Stultz continued;
Al handled the Joy stick through

erable difficulty keeping the course
because of the fog and rain. For
some time before we came down I
realized that we were getting short

“My companions are both well
but are dead tired. Miss Earhart
is resting aboard the plane.
“I came ashore to see about gas.
We have not got enough left in the

everything went perfectly. I had

We are all in splendid spirit* de
spite our fatigue. Naturally Mis*
Earhart is proud to think she is
the first woman to have flown over
the Atlantic.”
Miss Earhart herself hailed the
first motor boat which approached
the Friendship.
"We are short of fuel.” shouted
the woman flier. When the boat
drew closer Miss Earhart urgently
asked that 60 gallons of "aviation
gas” be obtained Immediately and
that ft be brought out to the
Friendship.
"We want to get enough to be
sure of reaching Southampton,”
added the aviatrix.
“I am the proudest woman fn the
world.”

cabin of the Friendship. Miss Ear
hart made this statement to news
paper correspondent* who went out
in a motor boat to greet her.
“We made it. We were just
fighting against bad feather the
greater part of the way over, but
we won am very glad
to have done it. And I am very
happy that we have landed. Our
fuel was very low and we could not
have gone farther. It was a won
derful experience. I am too tired
to say any more now, but it is
pleasant to realize the good wishes
in our behalf.”
This news was a big disappoint
-ment to the townspeople, but they
lingered amng the waterfront hoping
that the fliers would change their
minde.
Since “aviation gas” is practically
unknown here it was not certain
whether a supply could be obtained
in the Llannelly district.
Burryport is on Burry Inlet on
the eastern coast, about 200 miles
from London.
The plane had hopped off at
Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, yes

representative of the flight, received

Southampton to greet the fliers. The
message said that all the occupants
of the plan* were safe-
It had been believed that the
flyers might land at Valencia to

place without being sighted.
In the belief that the plane would
descend at Southampton a large
crowd had flocked to the water side
there and lined the banks of the
inner harbor. They were prepared
to give Miss Earhart, or “i>ady
Lindy” as she is called because of
her resemblance to the famous
American ace a warm welcome.
