made che impression he desired-—of a sanc, reasonable and high-
minded patrior.
From che ignpenetrable police cordons aod friendly fliers of Berlin,
the Lindberghs flew to Copechagen to be plunged once mote into the
glace of hated publicity, The Colonel and Dr. Carrel were ro demon-
strate their ‘‘perfusion pump’ before the Incernational Cyrology
Congress. When photographers arrived for the first mecuing and
began concenrrating on him, Lindbergh threarened to leave che
Congress. Alone with the savants who came to inspece the ““hearc
pump,” be was happy as a child demonscrazing the mechanism, and
beamed as praise and appreciation were lavished on him
Bur the world would nor Jet him be. On several occasions he had
to change restaurants after he had begun cating, so large were the
crowds that followed kim. Finally, he broke off his stay and flew
back to England.
The Lone Eagle takes te the sir again
Buc the lazy life of Weald no longer appealed to him. On his
return to England he rook over the plane he now flies, designed and
built for him by che noted British designer F.G. Miles. The “‘Mo-
bawk”’ is a powerful ewo-seared low-wing monoplane, painted black
and orange, with a cruising radius of 1,000 miles and a speed of 20
m.p-h. The last word in privare-plane perfection, it is equipped with
sears that cen be turned into beds, the most modern radio and
Navigating instruments, and designed for tong flights in aay part of
the world. The ‘Lone Eagle” was ready to rake ro che air agaic.
Lindbergh also interested himself again ic the transatlantic plans
of Pan American Airways. With rrail-blazing Pan American Presi-
denz Trippe he flew over ro inspect the Irish Free State's new base
oo the Shannon River. President de Valera, who ceustingly alluwed
Lindbergh to take him up on his frst flight, found him an interesting
and cheerful companion.
Bur, back from lreland—on a delayed trip which starred the rumor
that he was lost in the Eoglish Channel and rarned a glare of public~
iry on him again—he once more went into seclusion in Kent. Twa
months larer, in February 1937, he started off wich bis wife on their
10,c00-milg jaune to India and back. The trip was not without
pverture; -~—lxhier aforced landing io che Sytian Deserr in a

his wife were entertained by Lord Linlithgow in the magnificence
of che viceregal palace. Buc all these new places and people seemed
to make little impression on him. People who calked co him on
these trips say that his main and almost exclusive interest seemed
to be how soon flying weathet would permit the next take-off. And
friends who asked him afterwarde what he saw and choughz got
Do reaction whatever.
Shortly after che Lindberghs' recurn to Landon from Calcutta—in
May 1937—Anne had her third child. The precautions for sectecy
were cven more elaborate than usual. At the nursing home she was
listed as Mrs. Charles, and Lindbergh obtained permission from the
anthoricics foskip the usual registration formalities, so thac rhe press
might get no advance information.
During that summer, Lindbergh made frequent visits co Carre] at
Sr. Gildas. Rumor had it that they were planning a new hoc of
research. The world was curious and began commenting. Came a
