A—12 STOWAWAYSKEPT | OFF NORTHHAVEN Pan-American Ain Airways Ex- pedition Steams Away After Unusual Precautions. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. Ey Radio to The Star. ABOARD S. S. NORTH HAVEN, April 8.—The North Haven, carrying | the Pan-American Airways expedition to establisa island bases for the pro- Jected plane service between America and Asia, steamed away from Hono- lulu after unusual precautions had been taken to guard the ship while n port. Police stood guard over the vessel, and every member of the party leaving or boarding the ship had to| present an identifying pass. These strict precautions were taken to protect the unusually valuable cargo from intruders and also to keep off stowaways, lured by the novelty of a voyage to almost unknown islands. As the Midway and Wake | Island groups are rarely even sighted by other ships, while Guam is visited only by an occasional naval transport, any stowaway's passage, once Hono- | lulu Harbor was left bechind, would be assured until Manila was reached | sometime in June, although he might | have to do considerable work in the | hot sun in between. Obstacles Are Realized. Many aboard the North Haven, al- though they often had crossed the turbulent Pacific before. realized for the first time on this voyage the ob-| stacles an airplane must overcome in covering the same course and the im- mense amount of preliminary inves- | tigation, study and money involved ‘bafore the voyage through the air would be safe for regularly scheduled weekly or daily flights. Daring pilots have flown the Pacific, but they used small planes, and, more important, | they picked favorable weather. even | if it meant waiting weeks for a take- | off. Once the regular commercial gervice is started, the big clipper planes will have to take the weather as they find it, and even this com- paratively calm voyage showed con- | stantly changing winds on the long| stretch between San Francisco and| Honolulu that would seriously hamper & westward flight. Winds Unfavorable. Careful observations during the voy- age by meteorologists aboard North Haven showed a favorable tail- wind on only one day. Considering the comparative speed of a slow freighter and a fast airplane, this might mean only an hour’s favorable wina for a plane. On every other day there were winds varying in veloeity from 13 to 34 miles per hour, either directly against the ship’s course or at varying angles on the beam. At higher altitudes, the wind direc- tions would differ, but an airplane #reveling westward could expect un- fzvorable winds for almost the entire flight With Honolulu 2,400 miles away, a_clipper with a cruising speed of 150 miles per hour would cover the distance in 16 hours—on paper. How- ever. if the plane bucked a 30-mile headwind for the entire distance, which probably would be an extreme case, it would make only 120 miles an hour, although consuming fuel at a 150-mile rate, and would require 20 hours to reach Honolulu—the equivalent of flying 3,000 miles. Ships Must Meet Test. Consequently, passengers won't be riding the clipper planes, although more than 100 already have filed ap- | the | 400 to Start for Alaska Relief Camps Sending “Pioneers” to Fertile Tracts.
