LOSTELYRS 06 TELLS OF TORTURE Crew of Southern Cross Re- veals Suffering Due to Lack of Food. i (Continued From First Page.) Much as they were interested in this announcement, it was nothing com- pared to their dismay & few moments later when they found their apparatus was unable to transmit a reply. They spent the entire first night listening to the repeated calls, for the flies and mosquitoes were frightful and made sleep impossible. 4 ~Suffer Pangs of Hunger. The food problem became acute at daylight. The firr. 24 hours on the mud flat weakened all four men great- 1y, and this weakness added.to the pangs of their hunger. All they had after the putrefying sandwiches was a tin of gruel which they were taking to a sick baby in Wyndham. On the sec- ond day they used up one-third of this tin and then discussed their prospects of securing game. This proved a vain hope. They had only a small-automatic and game was scarce. They began searching for oysters along the beach, with no success. ‘The four men then trudged through & mangrove swamp to the nearest hill in the hope of I ing where they were and seeking a way out, but could see’ nothing. The one thought that kept revolving in their brains and which they repeat- edly discussed was that the plane was undamaged and that they had petrol enough to fly 15 minutes. If the mud would dry enough to enable them to rise, they could stay up long enough to tap out a message giving their location, for they continued to hear the radio of the planes or launches which ‘were looking for them. On the third day Pilot Ulm recorded: ““Mac is a scream, making jokes most of the time. Sometimes he plays his mouth organ. Food is all we need, and we can stick it out indefinitely, but we are all very weak for lack of food and sleep. Have tried to shoot birds with automatic, but had no success,” “All Weaker Now.” ‘The next day's entry read: “Wednesday, April 3.— All weaker now. I feel gone in my legs and arms, but all four of us are mentally alert.” Later on Wednesday, Ulm and Litch- fleld, the navigator, tried to stalk doves, but on their return from this trip Ulm inscribed in the log: “No damned good. Can't shoot worth & rap, anyhow. Small dove is hard to hit with automatic.” When Thursday dawned they realized they were in danger of starvation, for they were keeping just alive on one and a half cups of gruel each day. To- ward evening Ulm recorded: “Mac nearly out today, but still work- ing. All are feeling the gnawing pangs of hunger. Smithy's super-energy is wonderful, but even his unusual strength is failing. The flles take at least half of our energy and then at sundown :19 h:ommence to fight mosquitoes all ght.” | Light Fire as Beacon. On Friday, after a long discussion, | they decided to cross the mud flat and light a fire in a clay pan, as none of them was now strong enough to climb the small hill where they had been mtmg fires daily: On the same day, records: ““Oloudless sky, Heat terrible. Found ¢ mud snalls in mangrove swamp, which; we ‘ate. “Ugh! fhey were awful, but we all Teel stronger. Tried to cut tree down with two small screwdrivers, using reckswfepshammers.

It was too strenuous in our akened conditfon.” b d ., Saturday;” April 6, ‘Ulm’ desoribes the worst day “so far.” A plane passed within four miles of them and all work- ed furfously at’ shaking up the big $moke, but the smoke ‘was unseen by the airman.! On this same day Capt. Smith and Ulm tackled. the tree again. They wanted the trunk to jack up the wheel of the plane. “Ulm says: “This .time we ton after working without rest for two hours.” Hear Radio Calling. On Sunday, April 7, they tried to H‘ up a generator with the friction wheel which Capt. Smith made with a pen- krife. Continuing his Sunday log, Ulm records: “Smith knocked out today. But most of our very heavy work is finished and we are all resting. Radio heard again tonight, telling of the efforts to locate us. We are turning the generator in an effort to try to send a message. We each turn 10, 15 seconds and then guarter hours at a spell. It sounds easy, but after each go we each fall over, gasping for breath. It needs four of us to do the job. Mac at key, one turning, one holding light, other holding friction drive. Tobacco ran out this morning. :x‘a;":l tried to smoke leaves, but they are whul” On Tuesday, April 9, the pilot had this say: “We experienced today: the greatest hardship yet. A plane passed us twice this morning. Can any one realize iust what that means to us? We had lit a large fire near the mangroves to the south of us, and at 9:30 a.m. the plane passed within 8 miles without seeing us. “We are discussing the possibility of building a raft and carrying it to what we believe is the Glenelg River, 3 miles south, and drifting down to the coast with the tide. The lack of drinking water is dangerous. We ate more mud snails today. Only Gruel Left. “Qur position by observation is .lati- fude 185:35, longitude 124:45. Gruel is low.

OPPOSES DOGWOOD SALE AT MARKET Walleigh Indorses Campaign to Save Flower From Destruction. Charles H. Walleigh, superintendent of Center Market, where a great many shrubs and flowers are brought in from the surrounding country, is:much op- posed to selling of flowering dogwood at the market. Mr. Walleigh made this plain today when he came out wholeheartedly in favor of the campaign being waged by the National Capital committee of the Garden Club of America and the Wild Flower Preservation Society to save the dogwood for destruction. For years Mr. Walleigh has taken the position that the native flowers and shrubs which are in danger of exter- mination should not be stripped and sold in the public markets. He placed the Center Market behind the cam- paign last year also, and, so far as was known, not a stick of dogwood was sold there. Up to the present time, Mr. Wal- leigh believes, no dogwood has been on sale at Center Market, and he in- tends that none shall be sold. Signs asking ?ernm to leave the dogwood for o:l:ers 0 enjoy are posted at the mar- up there. Litch is splendid and looks Eond for 10 days yet. All suffering unger pains keenly.” Z‘he entry for April 12 ran this way: ‘Friday—Capt. Smith and Litchfield stayed last night on Darlinghurst Hill. Mac and I couldn't sleep down here. We are on the last of our gruel now, tak- ing almost pure hot water. Mac we ing shorts only. He is as brown as a berry. I started yesterday, but became rather scared over severe sunburn,” And then appears this: “9:50 a.m.—We are saved! Holden’s Canberra (the airplane which.located them first) appears from the southeast, mwaking Jong wide turn to east, continu~ ing i another turn from east to south to west. Eventually (at 10 am.) the Canberra came low down over the Southern Cross, circled for, well over an hour, dmrpint four packs of rations. “God, it's all too wonderful! Capt. Smith and Litchfield rushed down from Darlinghurst Hill with tears in their eyes and whoops of joy. We are all in, but gee—oh, gee! The old Southern Cross is in one piece and eventually we will fly out. “We just tore open two tins of bully beef and ate it like animals. “Holden has started to return to ham, first dropping a message say- g he would return with more food and messages. God bless him — God bless everybody. “Litch and Mac are great lads. We had previously decided that if and when rescued Smith and I would stay and fly our bus out, sending Litch and Mac out by rescue plane. But not now. They absolutely mutiny and refuse to leave. at any time. “So we have agreed to their mutinous request and we will all leave together in the good old Southern Cross, which is still undamaged. “Thirteen. — All hands greet the day with rejoicing, knowing that we will again make contact with the rest of our fellows.” And .here Ulm_ inscribed this para- nfl%hm,een continued. — Sure enough! The plane Canberra arrived shortly be- fore 1.o'clock and Bertie Heath's plane, with an Australian newspaper man-(the representative of the North American Newspaper Alliance) on hoard. They all landed cheering and we got more grub. _We can stay here six months now.

(Continved From First Page.) ) those of us who knew him well often think of him and miss him. An airplane, to function successfully in the Antarctic, must, however, be spe- cially prepared for the strains and tem- peratures to be encountered. Flying with loads off rough surfaces, where a lane bounces and smashes its way into he. air, necessitates strengthening the landing gear .and, in some cases, rede- signing it. And to prevent a motor from becom- ing cold and stopping at a time when a forced landing would result-in a crack-up requires most careful protec- annnk in the. designs of cowling and 5. Keeping Motors Warm. A more important problem was keep- ing the motors warm. The coldest-tem- perature so far encountered in flight has been 38 degrees below zero, and next Spring here it is probable that flights will be made in much colder weather. ‘The heating problem has been solved by cowling the motors so that 40 per cent of the cooling surface is covered, the cylinders in the cowling are used so that the motors may be flown in warmer temperatures, as they were in Summer at home. A small shutter ogemng was left in the cowling around the crank- shaft to cool the engine, but down heré it is kept closed. > All oil pumps ‘and ofl tanks are| lagged with 14-inch asbestos. The out-| side lagging, whenever possible, is' wrap- | ged in fabri¢, which is sewed and | emmed, making it. airtight. Usually large drains are used on all tanks, so that they may be drained quickly when a motor is stopped. Proper carburetion is obtained by an | adjustable heating system from the ex- | haust, which heats the air both before | and after passing through the car- buretor. Most of the heat is.applied after the mixture leaves the carburetor, and just enough heat is obtainéd in this way to get efficlency without increas- ing the size of the jets. System Not Perfected. ‘The system is not yet perfected, as the gasoline consumption is about 10 ?er cent more than in normal tgmpera- ures. During a photographic fiight at an al- titude of 10,000 feet in a temperature of 38 helow zero the engine began back- firing and missing, due to lack of heat in the. oil system. ‘The oil temperature normally is from 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, but on this occasion it fell to 100. Lagging two more ofl lines brought it up to 140, and there has been no further trouble. It is believed that eventually it will be possible to inclose the entire air- cooled engine in cowling, so that\the flow of air may be regulated and an even temperature may be maintained at all times. Such a complete cowling would be ideal for Antarctic flying. ‘The method of starting epgines in this .climate has been consjderably im- proved by experiences, so that now an, engine choked with ice and snow may be meltéd out and started in three- quarters of an hour. It is frequently found after a storm that fine snow hasdrifted in through the tiny openings in the canvas cov- ering until every space between the cylindets, rods, and even the inside cowling is packed with hard snow. Moreover, the valve box covers are filled with a paste of snow and eongealed oil and the entire engine is go stiff that'a man can throw his weight on the pro- peller without: budging it. % This' Tooks rather hopefess until a hester 1§ put under the engine -and it is melted out. Even if the engine could be turned over, carburetion in a cold engine at 30 below zero would be im- possible. * Canvas Cover Is Used. To overcome this condition the en- tire engine is covered with a fireproof canvas cover waich inclosed also the section containing the oil lines, oil tanks and carburetor. From the bottom of this covering a tube of the same ma- terial extends to the snow and a blow torch s placed under it. Even in the coldest weather with a high wind it is possible w heat a motor to tue temperature of 120 degrees Fahuenheit in 45 minutes. Hot oil is then poured in, the engine is primed thoroughly and the propellor is .turned around while priming. The covering and blow torch are removed and the engine is started. The only fallure since operations were begun was from improper priming, due to lack of familiarity with the method. Checking valves is more arduous and difficult than at home. It is first neces- sary to heat the engine as if for flight. The valve box covering is then removed and the valves are checked and set. Then the engine is reheated and the valves are checked again. e bea was necessary because of the of snow and oil found in the valve boxes and the fact that everything was so frozen fast that it was impossible to’ determine clearances. A valve check is made every 15 hours of flying and there is very little change after the second check. Landing Gears Satisfactory. Incidentally, the clearances. used are those recommended by manufacturers T 15, 1999; PRIVATE AND PAROCHIAL ORATORY PRINCIPALS ‘Top, left to right: Jerome J.

There have been no changes in the carburetor setting or in the fuel mixture since leaving the States... - . Landing gear and skis have been very satisfactory. They have withstood tremendvous shocks. Two types have been used go far, orie with the skis fitted on an ordihary landing gear in the place of wheels and the other ‘hav- ing a special landing gear permitting only an up-and-down motion with no side movement. The latter type is believed to be-the ideal type for hard use on such rough surfaces as are encountered here, al- though there were no signs of failure in the other kind. But any one who has gone bounding and crashing across the hummocks in a take-off realizes the necessity for reducing the chance of failure as much as possible. In the ordinary type: of landing gear, with a movable strut hinged to a lower longeron, there is an outward movement of the skis when landing or béuncing on a take-off and if a ridge hits a side ski at such a time something is apt to give unless the whole plane skids to the other side. Lessons of Experience. Experience has shown that all motion In the. joints near the fuselage should | be eliminated, that all- fulcrum action should be at the point Wwhere stress is applied, in other words near the skis. That is why, for work on snow, a land- ing gear permitting only up-and-down motion, with not more than an inch of side' motion, is believed to be best. ‘The landing gear should also_be wider | T than for use with wheels. Value of ships, should have folding wings. That plane might have been saved if the wings could have been folded, so as to eliminate lift. The best quality of the plane, its high lift, was what wrecked it. Flying has been very much the same here as at home, with the exception that 60 per cent has been by instru- | ments and half the landings are power- stall landings, due to inability to tell whether the plane was 1 foot or 50 above ground. The instruments have worked well, although ‘the air speed indicator has filled with drift snow while a plane was on the ground and has had to be cleaned out before leaving. ‘There is also need for better visibility in, es, and some of the pilots are inclined to believe that an open cockpit for: the pilot would add to the safety in landing under unusual light congitions. An adjustable pneumatic shock ab- sorber, if it would work in this climate, which could be adjusted for various loads, might help in letfl.ng off the ground and in landing smoothly. But on the whole the planes have been unusually successful and much has been learned that will aid in evolv- ing the ideal plane for Antarctic work. (Copyright, 1929.) > FOR TUESDAY.

By the Assoclated Press. he CLEVELAND, ' April '15.—America !um farewell here today to its dis- tinguished and beloved Ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick. Impressive rites in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral marked the close of a career that had led Mr. Herrick from Ohio farm boy to ‘one of the highest posts of trust his country’s service. Draped with the flags of many n tloris, the chancel, with its fall, lighted candles, cast a somber glow upon the casket at its front. Atop the unopened coffin was a black satin pillow, bear- ing the medal of the Legion of Honor. At the foot was a large silver palm. Both decorations were expressions of tribute from France to the Ambassador - whom it Jookeéll upon as an adopted son. | The solemnity of the service was heightened by its simplicity. There was neither sermon nor flowers. The 1 vested choir sang ‘“‘Nearer My God to Thee,” “Lead Kindly, Light" and “Abide With Me.” . Hundreds Wait in Rain. Only half an hour was required. for the service. Then the mourners filed slowly out, led by the bereaved. Be- hind marched pallbearers, selected from , the National Guard and Militia. It was raining lightly as the casket appeared at the door. Nevertheless, hundreds, unable to gain admission to the church, were waiting on both sides of Euclid avenue, to see the procession start on its way to the grave in Lake View Cemetery: a Appearance of the casket was the sig- 1nal for the Cavalry troops to draw |sabers and present arms. They re- | mained at attention until the body was | placed in the hearse. Then wheeling into line across the avenue, the Cavalry formed itself into !a guard of honor, to lead the way to the cemetery. Standing 20 paces apart, 1,000 police- men and firemen on each side of the route stood guard and saluted as the cortege passed. By lo%’clock the cathedral was fllled with mourners, admitted only on pres- entation of invitations. Every pew was occupied as the slow- tempo organ processional opened the service promptly at 10:30. Beated -up front, facing the casket, were the Ambassador’s son, Parmely jr, and O. R. Herrick, aged Herrick; ‘Mrs.” Herrick, their son, Par- brother of the Ambassador. Nearby sat Col. Lindbergh and Count De Sartiges, official representative of France. Others close to the mourners’ pew were Postmaster General Walter F. | Brown, representing President Hoover; Willilam R. Castle, jr., of the Depart- ment of State; David .S. Ingalls, Assist- ant Secretary of the Navy; the Governor | Myers Y. Cooper of Ohio and his staff, | Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan and Lieut. { Col. Harry Harley of the United States Army. | Further back were the representatives. i of civic organizations, city officials and {members of religious and military Right Rev. Willlam A. Leonard, bishop | of the Episcopal"diocese of Ohio, led the reading of the service, assisted by Bishop Coadjutor Warren L. Rogers and Dean Francis S. White. Simultaneously with the first notes of the organ, Cleveland paused in respect to the memory of him .who, although serving in a foreign land, called this city his home.
