...opening day Uruguay's picturesque Civil Guard marched glittering through the streets of Montevideo in uniforms dating from the War of Liberation from Spain (1810). Escorted by galloping lancers Dr. Gabriel Terra, heavyset, heavy-jowled President & Dictator, sped to open the Conference at 6 p. m. Alighting from their limousines in a sudden squall of wind and rain, delegates of 21 American nations clutched their silk hats and fled with flapping coattails up the marble steps of Uruguay's Legislative Palace to take refuge from the weather in its high-domed, multi-marbled and scarlet-trimmed Congressional Chamber...

The wild plane flew on until it was over the city, dived steeply, then leveled out at 1,000 ft. and headed for the business district.

A sigh of relief breathed through San Gabriel. A minute later Pilot Morrie...
