Miss Earhart's airplane flew blind" for twenty hours. Poor visibility was con- quered by a few scientific instru- ments. Had the latter failed, paly sheer good fortune would have saved the gallant trio.

Lieut. Wilmer Stulz, the pilot of the seaplane, and Mr. Louis Gor don, the mechanic, also placed wreaths on the Cenotaph, and afterwards did some sight-seeing in London. They had a look at the Nelson column, lunched at a famous Fleet-etreet restaurant, and then went on a tour of London.
