...Empire State Building (it was his first trip to New York City) with Al Smith, was whisked from conference to luncheon to conference, preceded by screaming motorcycles bearing U. S. and British flags, crossed the Hudson to New Jersey, received 100 presents (including one package, thought to contain a bomb, which turned out to be a big metal statue of Winston Churchill, thumbs up), conferred with one archbishop, three bishops and several clergymen.

What also pleased Navy men was XSB2C-I's range (600 miles farther to sea than any other model), and fire power (double the punch...
...Against the streetcar hurtled jagged slabs of plate-glass windows, splintered tables and chairs, and an avalanche of burst-open trunks and suitcases. Several Turks on the car were badly injured. Inside the now fiercely burning Pera Palace screaming chaos reigned. Cables flashed all over the world that a bomb attack had been made upon His Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Bulgaria, George William Rendel...
