TRIP T0 HOME
j Col. Emery of Newport
i Writes of His First
Aerial Trip
Lieut. Samuel P. Miils, a well
luiown South Kycj?ate aviator, con
tributes to the current Vermonter
a very readable article entitlerì
"Touring Vermont by Airplane"
in which he drscribos the first
aerial visit to bis home town in
the summer of l'21, a visit to
Newport and a tablo of time and
ditances to 3Mont)e!ier from the
pì'incipal towns anii eities in Ver
mont. The article has pirtures of
South ltyegate, Newport and the
University of Vermont campus
taken from his piane.
By rail it i approximately ÌO.'Ì
miles fi-om Newport to Montpelier
and it take.: four hours and 15 min
uto to make the trip. By the air
line it is 54 miles and the trip can
be made in "f! minutes. The clis
tanre by rail i'rom St. Johnsbury
to Montpejier is 5! rr.ik's and the
trip can be inade in about four
-hours. The distance by air line ìm
only 0", mile and the trip can be
marie by airplane in 22 minute:-.
I.ieut. Mills describes how he
marie his first trip from southern
New Enfiatici to Vermont anrl how
his father. a well-known Kyeate
resiiient and a member of the jury
at this terni of court, tool; the
fi'ain home from Boston. "Lieut.
Molla t and I," wi'ites the aviator,
"staited by air one anrl three
fouiths hours after the drparture

ouv sale arrivai in Burliniton. She
stili bari two hours of anxicty won
rlcrinjj if father would arrivo safe

continues, "A new stream now lay
bolow. I looki'i! at my nnp anrl my
jud:;eni( nt told -ìp it was the Con
necticut river, but it M-emed so
sniall. It was a disappointment
similar to that I once experionced
while flyinjr over the Mississippi
for the first time. But there was
the toll bnvrdo anrl the Wells river
emptyinu: in just bolow it. Perìiaos
I was expeetant for an Amazon or
a St. Lawrence. For almost the
fir.-t time in my ìife I ci-ossed the
river without n.iyìnp- toll, circlerl

front vani listeninp: to the roar of
the Liberty as we dipped anrl

her family, or onìy her son.
"After a very pleasant visit at
Fort Ethan," continues Lieut. Mills
later in his prippina story, "Where
we received the penuine armv hos
pitality for which the Post is not
ori, we starter! for Newport, about
05 miles rlistant r.s the crow flies,
anrl about 100 miles 1y' rail. I re
member distinctly of two former
trips over this route, one bv rail,
durine which I iliade four ehanes
of trains, rorle about four hours
and wr.ited in lonesome snots about
liiree hours more. The oher inp
was far more thrilling than any
airplane flight under normal con
diiions coulrl be, i'or I was chatreur
for Mrs, Vi. il. Flint of Newport
when we broke the leeoni (as we
say,) makinff the trip in about two
j hours anrl thirty minute:: bv auto- j
mobile. This dav, however, our
trusty Liberty motor was destined
to carry us faster than man has j
ever traveled .betrv-een these two
points, althoug-h the trip was made!
at an altitude slihtly'hiuher than'
'Mansfield's Brow' and in a sort
oi arcpath we were over Newport
: in about 5Ì5 minutes i'rom Lake
Champlain.
"In order to adrl to the interest
of our trip we passeri straijht over
the crest of Jay Peak anrl then on
a long- graduai deseent approached
Newport City., The first ohject
visible was the immense sand bank
on Pine Hill. This we would see
even befoie Lake Memp'hemnpog,
due to our approach from t.he west
in the afternoon. A moment later
Newport itself rame into view anri
I gaz ed down upon the most beau
tiful town scene 1 have ever wit
nessed from the air. The business
section is locateti upon a projec.tion
of lanrl which neaily diidos the
lake proper anrl the Back Bay. The
entire scene is laici out in clear re
lief with a clean wiiite Street ap
parently cutting through the very
hoart of the town. The lake lay to
the north in a perfect cairn, its
surface ruffled cnly bv the wake of
the 'Antkiemis' as she headerl for
Magog. Vainly did we look for the
Lady, but "The Lady of the Lake"
had passeri on to Avalon. In faot,
everything was quiet sa ve for a
little group of boys on the roof of
the Yacht Club who pausod in
their diving to wave a welcome as
we glirlerl by.
"A quick rlescont over the town
with moto!' wide open, a sharp
climb and a 'wing over' or twr
were marie ere we headed for a
larger fu-ld in Coventry. In the
center of this .ìolrl stood a Ione
figure who waved his arms franti
cally anrl leaped into thr air in
f-heer delight arni who rio you
sunpose it was? Woll, it was none
other than my old St. J. A. room
mato anrl former Air Service oiri
er, Lieut. Walter C. Cleveland,
more widely known as "Grove".
Iìore again I must relate a little
personal incirlr.'nt which is interer-t-ing.
lìoi'oie our machine stopped
rolling along the fiold, after land
ing "Giove" .vas on the piane im
li'oiing me not to stop the engine,
anrl at the sanie time tearing gog
glos anrl hr lmct i'rom my passeng
er and finully taking the jjlace of
Lieut. Motl'att altogether. 'Givo
her the gun, Sani! Givo her the
gun". I heard a heavy voice about
ari i'nch I'rom my ear, ìight ear,
anrl without argument, I opened
the throttle wide ami headed for
Coventry; for "Grove" coulrl not
be donici! the honor of boing the
fir st aviator to cleave the air abovo
his native vill ige. When our little
'jazz-ride (which mentis a flight
of 'cutting-up' without visible u se
fu! results) was over, we rollerl
ayain into the field and received a
warm welcome from our old
friends anrl then proceeded to the
hospitable home of Judge Cleve
land. On the following day, the
pleasure foli to me of piloting Dr.
Harry Hamilton and Col. Curtis
S Emery on their first aerial ride.
I bejieve that they would make ex
cellent fliers t'or they apneared
perfectly at home and except for
being a bit pecvod at flying so
short a time, both enjoyed the trip
