In this article, the fifth of a series, Pilot Baidukov tells of the flight across the Arctic wastes and the actual crossing of the' North Pole. BY GEORGE BAIDUKOV. 10:30 pm. For & long, long time we have not seen such beautiful weather. Over us not a cloud, beneath us not a cloud. Above, the sun, ringed with the concentric circles of the spectrum. Below, the endless ice fields laced by long fissures. Black, like roads ir. the Spring, they enliven a little the Arctic landscape. ‘There is no hiding from the over- whelming rays of the sun. They seem to burn into the body. Happily my eyes are protected by sun goggles. The visibility from the pilot’s cabin is now so great that one seems to see half of the globe simultaneously. At 11 o'clock Beliakov follows the exam- ple of the sleeping Chkalov and I re- | main the sole witness of the work of | the plane and all the monotonous splendor of nature. In the cabin it is still warm. One degree above. Altitude, 4,000 meters. External temperature, 25 degrees be- low. In 20 minutes the clouds appear be- low again, hiding the fields of ice. And suddenly I grow a little bored, especially since my comrades are sleeping the care-free sleep of fa- tigue. We slowly move toward the North Pole. Against us blows & wind of 40 to 50 kilometers an hour, caus- ing us to lose time and expend pre- cious gasoline. Day Seems Like Month. The 19th of June has come; 12 mid- night. We have been flying just one day, and it seems as though & month has passed. This is because of the al- titude and lack of appetite. We tried only once to take food. All of the many sandwiches, chicken, ham, or- anges, etc, lle untouched in their rubber bags. At 1 am, June 19, when we have | flown for 24 hours, I decide it is time to change shifts and to waken my comrades. Turning over the con- trols to Chkalov, I first go after some water. Sitting next to Sasha, I keep tr ing to find out from him when will reach the Pole. “Strong head winds—we sha!l prob- hours,” he answers. Satisfied that I will not I go to the tank to pump up some oil. In carrying out this physical procedure, at a height of 4,200 meters, I feel a quickening of my pulse, and decide to take some oxygen from Sasha’s tank. Sasha, with his face oxygen and this has greatly refreshed | both his head and his whole body. Beliakov hands me the oxygen mask and, putting it on, I lie down on the tank, feeling the refreshing | stream of oxygen. My breathing be- comes steady, my pulse slows down and I fall fast asleep, forgetting the Pole and everything in the world. And at the same time Chkalov’s mood is spoiled by the appearance of a cyclone on the right. Great numbers of these cyclones, in spite of all thebries to the contrary, wander: through the Arctic, with great feathery clouds streaming over them, yellow from the rays of the sun. They whirl like apparitions through the great ocean of air, sometimes moving with great speed. It was these that we most feared after our repeated lessons from the ice, after we had experienced how they hampered our speed. And it is natural that| Valery should be displeased with this present cyclone on our right, grad- ually turning leftward across our route, Plane Bears to Left. Our course begins to narrow. The plane bears to the left, compen- sating in this way for having been driven to the right by the wind. Below us there is still & solid mass of clouds. Something has happened to Beliakov's radio. All the instruments seem to be in order, but there is no reception, Sasha putters around the radio for a long time, but cannot get anything. They wake me up after they pass the cyclone and the plane flies due north by the solar compass in marvelous weather, although somewhere far below the fog still covers the ice. At 3:35 a.m, after a smoke and a drink of water, I take over from Chkalov. With bated breath I watch the dials and the behavior of all the automatic rumors. We must be very close to the pole. Sasha, unhurriedly, records regularly the position of the sun. Exgmining closely the lines of our Pposition, we find that we are passing slightly to the left of the Pole and that we cross over the end of 90 degrees north latitude—that is, the tip of the axis of the earth—at 4 o'clock. From a height of 4,150 meters we look down at the gigantic wilder- ness of ice, criss-crossed by fissures in all directions. The compass becomes more senittvse and whirl violently at the slightest list. But the automatic instruments function normally, quite oblivious to the presence of the pole. The human being also feels no change_here. Valery sleeps soundly. I suddenly lose all my sense of tri- umpn and begin to think about how explorers have lied about this ill- starred pole. Looking downward, Sa- sha and I again grimace at the monot- onous wilderness of ice and pay hom- age to the four Soviet scientists fighting in behalf of their country and world science to conquer the pole. They are somewhere very close, prob- ably on the left. Greetings, Comrades Papanin, Krenkel, Shirshov and Fe- dorov! You are doing great and ; | essential work. Well, we shall go still further—to the other pole! The area between the North Pole and Canada has for some reason been called by explorers the pole of inac- ceasibility. It is over this region that We now begin to fly. Here no air- plane has ever roared before. And the honor of being the first has fallen to the Soviet ANT-25. It flies on proudly over the ice packs, We follew the course of the sun, since the timt has come when we o A el i ol g RESORTS. BEACH HAVEN, N.

The northern end of the magnetic compass begins to turn more and more to the left toward the magnetic pole, which lies ahead and a little to the left of our route. But, in spite of what I write here, to the airman the pole doesn't really mean a thing; we have passed it, and that is that. Our business is to see that the engine and the plane work as they always must, to pilot the plane skillfully, holding to the given course. It's different with Sasha.

And really now, why do we follow the course to the north? Indeed, haven't we already passed the pole and aren't we now flying to America—that s, to the south? Something is wrong. Therefore, Sasha must set the solar compass 50 that it works as before. But the course indicates “south.” To put it more exactly, the clock, the ma- rine chronometer, the sextant, the tables and complicated calculations finally gave all the data for resetting the complex apparatus. At 4:42 am. Suk (solar compass) is reversed and the time changed on the 123d meridian, leading to Amer- ica. Now our doubts have been set at rest, the plane flies on as bcfore, and our course is to the “south.” All is well. Sasha writes a note ask- ing me not to use the magnetic com- pass, but to guide the plane by the solar clock attached to the hood of the motor in front of the pilot. Its white dial, divided into hours, and the small hand, throwing its shadow on the figures, serve as an additional solar compass to make it easier for the pilot to keep to the appointed course. We jokingly call it Buk-4.

Ahead on the right another cyclone looms. At first it lies paraliel to our course. That 18 good. At 8 o'clock I awake Valery. Belia- kov tells him we have passed the pole. Valery is happy as & baby. He keeps looking overboard, squinting from the blinding glare of the ice, finds his goggles and again gazes at the expanse of both oceans—the ocean of air and the ocean of ice. Valery writes a tele- gram to Comrade Stalin and asks Beliskov to send it: “Moscow, Kremlin, Stalin: “The pole is behind us. Passing over the pole of inaccessibility full of eagerness to carry out your assign- ment. The crew feels fine. Greetings. Chkalov, Baidukov, Beliskov.” That is the telegram we sent to Oomrade Stalin on our way to the pole of inacoessibility. - (Copyright, 1937, by the North Amsrican Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
