HOME GUARD HEARS NEWS OF LANDING Great Rejoicing at Salety of Byrd and Companions Roosevelt Field, N. Y., July 1.— (A—The “Home Guard” of Com- mander Richard E. Byrd's . aerial overseas expedition, which pre- maturely celebrated with a ban- qut, music and fireworks his ar- rival in France, received the news of his actual landing with calmness but great satisfaction. There were only about twenty persons about the hangar of the America Transoceanic Company when the word came that the fliers were safe at Ver-Sur-Mer, and most of thése were newspapermen. Among the faithful who maintain- ed an all-night vigil at the end of a telegraph wire, however, were Mrs. Bert Acosta and Mrs. George O. No- ville, who refused to give way to fear even when their husbands were missing for hours. When a cablegram was received from Commander Richard E. Byrd addressed to his wife saying he had landed and all were safe, the two women telephoned Mrs. Byrd in Boston and they exchanged words of joy on being relieved of the in- tense strain, Others Overjoyed Too Others-of the faithful group were Tom Mulroy, chief mechanic who was with Byrd at Spitzbergen when he flew to the North Pole, and Ross Gardner, also one of the America’s ground force, Grover A. CLEARANCE! alen, president America Trans-Oceanic company and personal representative of Rodman Wanamaker, backer of the flight, also remained throughout the night. Mrs. Acosta and Mrs. Noville fl- nally left for their temporary home at the Garden City hotel at 5:45 o'clock this morning. Each woman shook hands with the newspapermen who had shared thelr vigil with them and thanked the men for keeping them posted throughout the night with the latest bulletins of the flight. Bennett Is Told Floyd Bennett, who was to have been pilot of the America but for an accident which has confined him to a hospital in New York, was told of the safe arrival of the America over the telephone by Mr. Whalen. “It was a tough break, but it ocould have been worse,” sald Ben- nett when told of the forced land- ing. He expressed joy, however, that the filers were safe. The big event at the field took place at 7:45 last night when a falsc report that the America had landed set a crowd of several hundred into & wild, burst of enthusasm. Fireworks were dug out from somewhere, an orchestra was hur- ried out from New York, waiters en- gaged and a regular banquet was soon under way. Tables had been set In the rear of the hangar which was decorated with American and French flags. The orchestra played the “Star Spangled Banner” and the seillaise” and the crowd went wild with joy. Mrs. Acosta and Mrs, Noville occupied places of honor. And then just as the desert was being served the news arrived that the earlier report was incorrect. But the taithful “home guard” as in no mood to belleve the later report and the celebration was continued. the “Mar- | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1927, "|SAVED FROM SLOW Many went to their homes still belief that the fliers had landed.

She listened carefully to the read- ing of the dispatches from France and then said: “Please say for me how thankful I am for the kindness of the news- papers who have kept us informed throughout the entire flight.” ‘Whatever fears Mrs. Byrd may have entertained for the safety of her husband and his companions vanished when she learned they had been taken to the village inn and had gone to sleep. “That's good,” she exclaimed.
