R. Sabor--4

quiet attitude, the people, the setting of the beautiful red tiled city, I believe would act as an invitation to any one to return.  From here we will proceed to Horta, where we will spend an hour, and then we will spend the night on the plane.  In the morning we will be in New York.

     As this trip ends, I don't believe that I could have wished for finer weather, finer companions, finer treatment by the Pan American organization and its officials, or for a finer greeting and reception than that which has been accorded in Horta, Lisbon, and Marseilles.  I sincerely hope that I can return to relive and enjoy the pleasures of this voyage.  This Russell Sabor returning to the homeland.



     This is W.J. Eck, assistant to the Vice President, 

Southern Railway Company, who has had the honor of 

participating in the first commercial flight of the Pan 

American transatlantic service.

     We have been approximately 12 hours on the way, and 

have found the service everything we anticipated.

     It is very difficult to realize that we are some 

thousand feet above water of the Atlantic Ocean, and 

traveling almost 200 mile per hour.  It is an ideal 

method of crossing the Atlantic, and I am looking 

forward to my return on this ship.

     The Pan American Airways Company are to be 

congratulated on their foresight in inaugurating this 

wonderful service which means mush to both America and 

Europe.
