SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. -
Little Miss Emily Willard travels with her brother, Charles, the noted aviator, and a younger brother is of the family party, too. They are alone in the world and she has kept house for them for five years.
She is a delicate girl,
"I never worry about my brother," she says. "yet I can not say I am not nervous. I simply will not let myself begin to worry.
When he flew over Los Angeles I told myself that I must not give in to any feeling of alarm. You see, if anything happened to him he would need me there, and would I be of any use if I were screaming or hysterical."
"I think I am a good deal of a mental scientist in a way.
"I have an aunt who is a Scientist, and I have just a little of her idea. It is just faith and a great deal of self-control; but anyway," she concluded,
"I don't worry and I am sure my brother is safe."
They told me he was in the water, and I said: "Well, he can swim."
Miss Willard has made several flights with her brother.
She described the sensation as 'like an elevator going a little too fast.'
