After taking thought, Great Britain added one Cubitt to Bermuda last week. Lieut. General Thomas Astley Cubitt was appointed Governor and Commander in Chief, succeeding Lieut.-General Sir Louis Jean Bols who died last September. Any other week this would have been great news in Bermuda, but last week Hamiltonians gave it scarcely a thought. In their midst for six hours was the Earl of Chester, otherwise H. R. H. Edward of Wales. His lanky younger brother Prince George was also present, but attracted little more attention than the coming Cubitt...
...Princes stepped ashore, posed for photographs, shook hands with Acting Governor Edward W. Evans and his staff, then boarded a tender and putt-putted to the swanky Mid-Ocean Club at Tuckerstown. The Earl of Chester celebrated the beginning of his trade tour by playing golf with Bermuda's leading tradesman, Eldon Trimingham of Trimingham Bros.

They took off again for the Azores, flew into a high wind over heavy seas, were not again seen or heard from. A few optimists clung to the ephemeral hope that the flyers were alive on one of the outlying Azores. But cold reason labelled the Tradewind the seventeenth transatlantic plane to be lost since 1927; the pilots the 30th and 31st; Mrs. Hart the fourth woman...
