Agnes, Que., April 20— Major James Titzmaurice today awaited the tri-motored relief plane from Detroit which is to carry him and the repair parts for the trans- atlantic monoplane Bremen back to Greenly Island. Blizzard Starts A Dblizzard which swept down over the St. Lawrence river country last night, however, brought fears that the big Tord all-metal plane might not be able to win through the 800 miles from the American city to this | alrporr The forecast, however, was for clear and cold weather today. If the plane comes through on schedule, the T Floyd Bennett and Bernt Balchen, the relief ship's pilots, hoped to take off for Greenly Island Saturday. Fitzmaurice estimated that three | days would be necessary to make the rf‘P’(h’R on the Bremen and then he, | Captain Hermann Koehl and Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld would con- tinue their flight to New York, which a hent propeller, a punctured tire and lack of fuel has delayed since a week ago today, Forced Down . Word was receiyed today that the sccond plane to reach the stranded | German fliers at Greenly Island had taken off yesterday morning but had | the three Leen forced down by a snowstorm at | Racre Cocur, miles northeast of here. The plane, owned by the Cana- dian Transcontinental Airways and piloted by Romeo Vachon, had as passengers a correspondent of the Canadian Press and two New York photographers. For seven days the lane has rested on the ice of the lit- tle pond at Greenl Island as the weather and restricted transporta- tion systems barred attempts to car- ry aid to them. Now we'll make it,” Fitzmaurice and Fraulein Junkers | as they received word that the re- | lief plane was coming tirough. “The plane, I understand, is able to make the flight to Greenly Island in one hop,” Fraulein Junkers said, “and this, I am sure, will make pos- sible the earlier arrival of the Bremen in New York."” Parts to Arrive For his mono- | in in time | by Monday or | from | pas- | sh commandant and | big Junkers | declared | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1928, Meanwhile the parts needed to re- puir the Bremen are expected to ar- | rive ahead of the plane. A Junkers mechanic already is at Quebec with !two landing wheels, an undercar- ! riage part, a drum of oil, a case of engine parts and special topls. The propeller, taken off the Bremen's sister ship, the Junkers' F-13, was | also on the way and indications were | everything would be in readiness to load them aboard the relief plane when it arrives. The benzol, high | pressure fuel used by the German | plane, also has been obtained for transportation to the Bremen. The smiling Irishman has been taking things e here on the edge | of civilization, his main occupation ! being answering questions of re- porters and receiving telephone con- | gratulations, which poured into the airport office from Canada and the United States. Need Money The need of money was the main consideration which caused him to ‘!- his German comrades and {come out with *“Duke” Schiller in ‘(he first relief plane to reach them, | he said. “They thought T man, might be to jolly more | out of the people. We did not flip | coin. My companions agreed that it would be better for me to come be- jcause I alone could speak Englis id money was needed for r of the plane and for ‘Alolhmg, narking there was not a | clean shirt among the three of them. | | Fitzmaurice, who left Baldonnel Ireland, a captain, learned for the |first time from an Associated Press correspondent that he had been raised to the rank of major as a |mark of respect for his daring tlight. “Don't call me major,” he admon- |ished the reporter. “I am only a | commandant.” (He had referred to his title as head of the Irish I'ree | State air force). Thanks Canadians | “Oh, no. you are not,” he was told. {*You are a major.

Fraulein Exhausted Exhausted by her efforts, but with | success at last in sight, |to her room when word that the re- lief plane was coming was received and gave orders that she was to be allowed to sleep until she woke up. Whether the Bremen will attempt a non-stop flight to New York from | Greenly 1sland when the repairs arce made is uncertain, It is expected, however, that the plane will stop | here on the way out. Major Fitzmaurice said there was | | no difficulty on the flight because of | | the difference in language of him- self and his two companions. Capl.\n\ | Koehl knew enough English to act as interpreter when he and the {baron wished to communicate, he | said. The Trish major expressed a de sire to take a ride on one of the dog? 1 sleds which the newspaper corres-| pondents use in making trips Xrom‘i Murray Bay out to the airport. He was advised to stick to his alrplanes as a trip on the sleds was much worse than riding a broken springed car over the roughest part of Hh;i “Rocky Road to Dublin.” Montreal, Que., April 20 (UP) |1f present plans carry many Ame can cities will have an opportunity to sce the doughty Bremen which spanned the North Atlantic from east to west.

With luck, the Ford ship should be at Lake St. Agner this afternoon or evening and, again, with Iuck, should be able to start off for the island Saturday Repairs to Go in Ford The Germans at Greenly Island have been advised by Fraulein Her- ta Junkers, field marshall of the re- lief expedition, that a landing gear, propeller, oil, benzol. clothing, food and tobacco are to be sent up in the I’ord. The clothing part will be welcome news to the Germans who are reported out of fresh linen. A wild scramble to get a collar big enough for Koehl has been proceed- ing.

To Circle Radio Station At the suggestion of the United P’ress, Fraulein Junkers and Major Fitzmaurice have arranged for the Bremen to circle the Point Amour wircless station, about 25 miles from Greenly Island, when they leave for New York.

Whether the Bremen will make a direct non-stop trip from Island to New York is still a mat- ter of conjecture.
