Inspect Sacred Mountain. “As we shook hands with the Japanese officers, the last thing they said was: ‘Don't fail to see Fujiyama.” “Of course, all our lives we had heard of the sacred mountain of Japan and seen ,thousands of pic- tures of its snow-capped symmetrical cone. There were few sights we were looking forward to more than, the opportunity of catching a’ glimpse of old Fuit. yThe weather was ideal for flying, and the sun was just coming up when we left the Japanese naval alr base and set out course south toward the southern end of the main ‘island of Hondo. Just ahead of us on the left was the island volcano of Oshima belching forth great clouds of smoke and steam. We knew that Fuji was somewhere off to our might, but a cloud bank obscured the view. Suddenly as we flew across the entrance to Yoko- hama harbor the clouds to the west rolled apart, and there, with his snowy summit standing out against the cobalt sky, was one of the love- Mest sights I have ever beheld. “As the clouds parted it was just as though old Fuji had rolled aside two cosmic curtains and revealed himself to encourage and inspire us. “No wonder thi is a sacred moun- tain. No wonder that from the earliest times Japanese poefs have ung of Fujiyama’s beauty and charms. No wonder the people af these islands are nature worshippers with this dazzling, snow-capped vol- cano ever before them “The Japanese army and navy of. ficers had told us that it was 12,400 feet high, eighty miles in circum- ference at the base, and two miles anda half around the rim of the crater, For 200 years Fujiyama has been asleep.

After all, what are 200 years in the life of a volcano like Fuji or Katmai or Kilawaea? Hot Fog and Rain. “But no mere words of mine can describe the thrill I got that morn- ing as the clouds rolled back and Fujiyama said to us, ‘Ah, here I am.’ No sight, excepting Mount Ranier, the vast ice ‘fields around Mount 8t. Elias on~ the Alaskan: coast and the fjord leading, up .to Seward called Resurrection bay, had so impressed_and inspired us. “Instead of ‘see Naples, and die,” our advice is, see Fujiyama and live. To behold the sacred mountain of Japan from an airplane is surely one of the moments of life. “A few minutes after we had paid our respects to Fuji we plunged into a combination of rain and fog, so trom then on for two hours we saw no land and flew a compass course. The last hour of the storm we got our first’ taste, of a typhoon and by the time we arrived over Koshimoto, where we were to refuel, a real typhoon was raging in: great style. ‘The sea was so rough that we flew around a half a dozen times before landing, and when we came down on the wayes we spent three quar- ters of an hour vainly attempting to moor the» planes. Smith ran the motor while I got face down on the pontoons. First we would be near the buoy, then we would be away off from it, and Smith would have to switch on the motor.. Then, when woe got up.to the buoy again, first it would be way down underneath ‘me, and then as the waves changed, it would be. way up above, and I would be down in the trough of the sea. Time and again the waves broke right over the pontoons, »near}y washing me off.” season have been ing and CHICAGO, Dec. not a party to the read: to such request.
