...carrying the ball in two rushes through the line to the 18-yard mark. Two more plays and a pass from Murray to Steele resulted in no gain. A drop-kick from the 28-yard line by Murray also failed.

Flinging away their landing carriage and deliberately avoiding steamship lanes, they undertook a voyage, as perilous as any since the days of Columbus and Cabot. What a continuous flight of twenty hours must mean is clear to anyone who has spent with the hum of engines throbbing in his ears, even three hours in the air. Our wonder increases when we consider that this longest flight yet attempted was made in a plane with only one engine, little chance of floating if forced...
