S SENT BY'RADID Byrd Plcture Flashied Across Atlantic Shows World Top . Is lce Sheet. Ry Cable to The Star. LONDON, May 29.—With this dis- patch is sent by radio to The Star the tirst photograph ever taken of the North Pole. It was made by Lieut. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd from his Fokker airplane, the Josephine Ford, during his 19-minute flight abhove the desolate spot-on May 9. Bringing the film containing the picture with him Comdr. Byrd steppeti ashore from the Chantier here yes- terdey. The film was hurriedly devel- oped and the print rushed to a radio plcturegraph machine, where it was flashed through the air across the Atlantic to New York. Tt is one of the most interesting photographs ever taken. and soon English publications were clamoring | ° to purchase the English rights for its | reproduction. It is not only the first '\hn'ai‘ raph ever taken of the North | u Pole, but the first such rarity ever sent by radio across the Atlantic. Pole Is Vast Ice Sheet, Judging by the ‘photograph of the| muysterious point which has intrigued, haffléd and even caused the death of a0 many intrepid explorers, there is nothing -at the North Pole to attract tourists. ‘A vast sheet of ice, losing itmelf in distant horizons, showing a few cracks and a few ridges, lying under the immense gray sky—that is all.

The doughty steamship Chantier, after reaching Gravesend, near the mouth of the Thames, pushed up the river and at 4 a.m. halted at the dock near the Tower of London. The night was pitchy black, and the members of the adventureus crew said it was the first night they had seen for weeks. At Spitzenbergen the Chan- tler's men lost count of days.

In his recent flight to the North Pole he learned much that will help him in future Arctic flights. First he will turn his attention to skis for enabling the plane to land on the ice. When he reached Spitzenber- gen he discovered his skis were not heavy enough and was forced to make them heavier. He believes that with the proper skis he could land at 1l within_walking distance of the Noi Pole. He also learned the variations at the Pole of an ordinary compass, and believes he could return there | with one in case a sun compass could | mot be used because of fog. He thinks commercial flying across the North Pole on multimotor planes will be a aevelnpmem of the future. i OUTING FOR ORPHANS. The two largest hoists in the world are now In use in Canada.
