BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Radlo to The Star. LITTLE AMERIVA, Antarctica, Sep- tember 22 —Little America is beginning | to dig itself out after the long Winter. | Men with snow shovels are excavating in drifts, which cover airplanes and everything stowed on the barrier sur- | face last Fall. Occasionally the sun shines brightly, although there is a cold wind from the | South. To the North can be seen a | dark streak in the sky reflected from { open water. |*"Some of the dogs have been taken from the tunnels and staked outside. They curl up on the snow, lift their heads and howl mournfully, like wolves, a sound reminiscent of last Summer., A puppy scurries busily about, poking his nose into discarded tins or annoying a larger dog until bowled over by an impatient paw. A dog driver is having a hard time with his team, which does not wish to resume harness after so many weeks of hibernation. There is an air of relief and happi- ness at once more being able to work outside, because it marks the beginning of fleld activity, to which every one has been looking forward eagerly. It will he a long time before flying can be done or before men can work in comfort in the cold winds from the | South. It is still 44 below zero. Teams May Run Into Blizzards. But it will not be long now before the first of the dog teams, which are to lay bases to the Queen Maud Range, 400 miles away, leaves the camp and disappears over the edge of the bal rier to the south. The teams will leave as soon as the weather permits, and expect to fage a good deal of cold and & few blizzards. From the time the dog teams leave until the flights are over and the teams have returned will be four months of continuous activity, even though there will not be much flying until December 1. Until the Summer period of calm, there is too much danger of being caught in a sudden storm. In the early part of the season the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON,! D. C.

Last seen of Norman he was ri over crates that were half covered by snow, talking like a dog driver and ineffec- tually cracking his whip. Jack 's team wound itself around one of the guy wires to a radio tower, and several of the dogs broke loose. Jack chased them half way to the bay down Ver-sur-mer Inlet. But Jack O'Brien was the victim of drivers. He harnesesd up two half-wild Siberian dogs to drag some crates up & hill 80 he could house his team outdoors, He talked and he coaxed and nothing happened. Then he tried his whip, and the dogs promptly crawled in the crates <n the sledge. “Are you dumb or am I!” said Jack, scrlalchmg his head and staring at them. “Maybe I am,” and he dragged the mfie 3 the dogs In them, up the But these incidents are all in the life owt a dog’1 (lllrhlr’eer, ud ‘:‘n a short time the ams ol commands and trottihg about Lh{kl trained dog teams should. In the meantime the aviation gang has been attacking the piles of snow around the airplanes. These were housed last Fall in hangars made of snow blocks; and when a way was chopped and shoveled through the drifts and blocks to the open space around the Fairchild, the first one to be opened, it was found to be in perfect condition, There was an open space around the engine when it was put away—a space extending back as far as the door of the cabin. The tail of the plane was o e le was free from drift snow. On_ the propeller, some of the engine parts and on the fuel lines in the top of the fuselage were some tiny ice crystals. The instruments were perfectly clean and free from frost. ‘The plane is in as good condition as when it was put away and all that is needed is to push the wings forward in place and tune up the engine. | So that work on the engine can be | done, an igloo has been built around the | front of the plane, making a larger |space than was needed during the | Winter. Most of the aviation group went to work on this, Bernt Balchen, Dean Smith, Kennard Bubier and Pete Demas, Harold June and Bennie Roth would have been out there if they had not been working with a new of heater for warming the motor—a heater that is a great improvement on the ones hitherto used.

And the dogs which have been shut up most of the Winter in thelr tunnels are being broken to har- ness, How they loathe it; or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they enjoy making their drivers miserable. Fred Crockett harnessed his team the other day with some difficulty, and when he turned it loose, the dogs ran wildly in a big_circle, Crockett hang- ing on to his sled and yelling like an Indian. The dogs saw the entrance to a tunnel and the entire team decided to go below. and piled into it until the sled brought up against tne sides of the entrance land Crockett rolled off on his head, still talking loudly and impolitely. Norman Vaughan had a new team {out, relying for steadiness on Dinty, | his leader, a black dog with a sense of | humor. Dinty saw something which in- | terested him and he stopped, with the result that the other dogs and the sled all piled up in a m hich it _took «AMBAS!
