Cape Fairweather is the farthest west point to be photo- graphed by the members of the Alaska Aerial Survey Detachment this summer, according to R. H. Sargent, who represents the De- partment of the Interior with the mappers. Weather Bumpy It was with difficulty that the plane was kept on the even course required for aerial photography, particularly in the vicinity of La- touya Bay, due to the extremely bumpy weather, he said. Some in- teresting weather conditions were observed by the fliers in making the trip as they flew high above | clouds until they reached the Gla- cier Bay district, where the weather was fine. The plane taken by Lieut. R. F. Whitehead and Lieut. L. P. Paw- likowski photographed the area north of Cross Sound, in the vicin- ity of Dundas Bay. They flew on the east side of Lynn Canal from Berner’s Bay to the Katzelin River, taking photographs, and on the west side of the Canal they went to the Davidson Glacier district obtaining some splendid photo- graphs. During the flight they pho- tographed approximately 700 square miles C. F.
