Guard Posted for Night. The water was drained out of the radiator, which would, of course, have been badly damaged by the frost had we not done so. Plenty of sacking was procured and the engine was mrelully, wrapped up for the night. A man was employed to guard the machine throughout the night, not that | we thought any one would steal it, but | to warn us should the storm increase to_greater force. Feeling assured now that our stout | little craft was as comfortable as w could make her for the night, we ad journed to the lighthouse, where our hostess, Mme. Tamplier, greeted us with | that charming hospitality so character- istic of the French people, particularly the French Canadians. Our sheepskin flying boots and socks, | which had become saturated during the work and had become. frozen so that the were literally two cakes of ice, were removed and we were provided with stockings and moccasins. Our first consideration here was to | write out and dispatch telegrams and | cables to our people notifying them of | {J‘UY fi‘n{c arrival on the American Cvn-i inent.

As this machine was not to arive before 5 o'clock we spent the afternoon preparing messages, recount- ing our experiences and our needs. At 5:30 o'clock we were sitting in the lighthouse when he heard the drone of an airplane. We pulled on our things and ran out A very light was fired from here and she circled to land on the ice of the frozen bay about a mile away. We traveled over by dog sled and met those who had come to our relief. ‘That night we held a conference and learned that a considerable number of misleading reports had come out and line, due to our landing, our messeges bad been garbled and our needs not made clearly known.

It was decided that I should under- take this commission. At noon the fol- lowing day, leaving Cuisinier and the mechanic behind, we left Greenly Island en route for Murray Bay. Cuisinier, we learned upon getting up, had arisen at 5 o'clock in the morning, had secured additional assistance which he could more readlly direct be- cause of his knowledge of the language and the people, and had procured prac- tically every dog team and sled in the countryside for the purpose of carting material to the scene of our landing. His intention was to lower the water in the pond by drainage so that a wooden platform could be bullt under the machine to enable the mechanics to work in the dismantling of the dam- ged undercarriage and the fitting of the new one when it arrived. He confidently assured me before I left that he would have this work com- pleted within 10 hours. I could not me“hly see how -he was going to do it, ut do it he did, as I have since learned It was a splendid feat. of engineering Shortly after luving Greenly Island #e encountered fog and heavy snow. In addition to that the east wind which prevalled at Greenly at the time of our departure changed 'round to the west after about an hour's “Fm‘ on our part ‘This slowed us considerably, and we were compelled to land at Natashquan, There we stayed the night and were very hospitably received The following day at noon we left ain in a howling gale and heavy snow, d succeeded in- reaching Clarke City about 5 in the afternoon.

Weather conditions in this re- gion had been. ideal all day, offering clear visibility. Propeller Slightly Bent. The alliance plane circled around for five minutes selecting her landing place and then glided down and taxied through the soft snow. The right wheel sank into a ylelding spot, indi- rectly causing a trivial mishap which could have been serious. A mechanic busied himself at the mired wheel with a long plece of iron which he used as a crowbar. The pro- | pellers were still spinning. The me- | chanic allowed the end of his lever to | come within range of the propeller of | the right motor. There was a slight | clicking sound as metal met metal ‘The tip of the propeller was slightly | bent. Had it been a wooden propeiler it would have been splintered, with pos- sibly fatal results to the mechanic and the closest spectators. The damaged blade was promptly straightened and is as good as ever. Spark Ignites G ‘This was the second accident of the day to cause serious, although tempo- rary, alarm. REarlier a Fairchild cabin plane, in which Romeo Vachon had piloted two photographers and a re- porter to Greenly Island and return, had landed here with a broken motor mount. Vachon and his mechanics set about welding the break in order to permit this plane to fly on to New York at once. A spark flew into a gasoline bar- rel standing in the frame structure which serves as a hangar and general flying depot at Lake St. Agnes. There was an_immediate burst of flame, Upstairs Maj. Fitzmaurice had Just arisen. He hurriedly descended to watch Vachon put out the blaze, which caused little damage Bennett and Balchen reported that their flight from Detroit, made in ap- Rl'ox!ml\wly eight and one-half hours, iad been without incident, the weather all the way being satisfactory except for some “bumpiness” of the air., In addition to these two the Alllance plane carried Charles J.

Vachon dropj in at Lake Stagnes at breakfast time. He reported that Capt. Koehl and Von Huenefeld, aided by volunteer workers of Greenly Island as well as from the nearby mainland, had lifted the Bremen up on scaffolding and were rllnnlnz to remove her metal wings to facilitate rolling her from the awkward place where she landed down to a water edge, where a take-off will be possible after necessary repairs have been made. He said that, contrary to previous re- ports, the Bremen had not landed on the frozen surface of a small lake, but upon a reservoir which supplies fresh water to Lighthouse Keeper Templer and his large family. Plane Hit Low Wall ‘There i3 a low concrete wall around the edge of the reservoir. The wheels of the Bremen struck this, he explained, damaging the landing gear and throw- ing the plane forward on her nose so that the !)mvl‘llfl' blade was bent, Although New York City is hoping to welcome the German fiyers and Fitz- maurize not later than Friday of next week, Vachon quoted Capt. Koehl as expressing the belief that it would re- quire six or seven days to prepare the Bremen for the flight after the repair parts reach Greenly. Vachon took particular glee in an- nouncing that Von Huenfeld's monocle stuck faithfully to the Von Huenefeld right eye in the crash, although he said the German's right wrist had been slightly injured. hile Greenly residents have been known to consume “brooze" and even fried owl iIn periods of food scarcity, Vachon sald he saw no reason for any visitors to complain about the food at present. He landed at Greenly at 11 a.m. Thursday and had lunch with the flyers and the Lé Templer family at the lighthouse, taking off for the return trip at 2 o'clock that afternoon. The menu, he explained, consisted of pea soup, salt pork, biscults, milk, cake and coffee. In his opinion that was “plenty of food.” (Copyri 3 All Countrios by i ewspiver_Allianeo,) North OPEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON Speclally low priced—-for imme- diate sale.
