HARBOR GRACE, N.

Aug. 27 (AP). The monoplane Pride of Detroit hopped off for Croyden, England, at 5:14 a. eastern standard time, today. The Stinson-Detroiter, which carries William S.

Brock, pilot, and Edward F. Schlee, Detroit business man, is off on the first leg of an attempt to set a new record for a trip around the world. Arriving yesterday afternoon from Old Orchard, the plane was refueled and made ready for a start today to take advantage of the splendid weather which had attended the flight thus far. Dawn today again found the weather well nigh perfect. A light wind blew from the northwest at about ten miles an hour while visibility was excellent.

The record of 28 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes for globe circling, which Brock and Schlee hope to break, was set last year by Edward Evans and Linton Wells, who used ships and trains as well as airplanes. The distance between Harbor Grace and Croydon near London, is 2350 miles. lhe Pride of Detroit has already negotiated easily at an average speed of about 100 miles an hour a hop from Curtiss Field. New York, to Old Orchard, and that of yes- tcrday of about 1000 miles to Harbor Grace. Brock, after looking the plane over carefully here, said it was in perfect shape for the Irans-Atlantic jump.

About 350 gallons of gasoline were added to the residue in the tanks here. The plane rose gracefully and circled around the flying field once before heading straight out to sea. There was not a cloud in the sky. Automobiles lined the sides of the field. As the plane took to the air cheers went up from hundreds of spectators, in which Sir John B.

Bennett. colonial secretary, joined. Sir John had welcomed the fliers on their arrival and was on hand early in the morning to bid them farewell. The fliers had slept well for seven hours and were in excellent condi- tion. After a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs they drove in an au- (Continued on pajre 3, column 4) By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mexicans in Second Attack On Americans ASHING! ON, D. Aug.

27 second attack on Americans in Mexico during this week has occurred with the seizure of the American-owned Amparo Mining company in the state of Jalisco by radicals, who were reported to have besieged 18 Americans and 11 British subjects in their homes near the mines. Earlier in the week Miss Florence Andirscn, of Los Angeles, was shot and fatally wounded during an attack on her train by a band of Mexicans near Acoponeta, Nayarit. While awaiting further details today of the seizure and the safety ot the barricaded Americans, Washing ton government officials were in formed in official press dispatches that the Mexican government had already taken measures to assume charge of the situation and afford military protection to the beseiged officials of the company, a silver mining concern Whether the seizure was a protest against the Sacco and executions was not determined in lirst reports received late yesterday by the state department from its (iuadala.jara consul.

His first reports of i the incident, however, only said the occupation of the mines was by a syndicate. President Calles was reported in Mexico City dispatches to have instructed the military authorities of Jalisco to afford full protection to the officials, while to the Mexican newspapers said there was no violence nor were the lives of the Americans aiul Britishers endangered In the seizure.

Thursday night a vessel reported him about 300 miles east of Nassau, Bahamas, but this information remains unconfirmed.
