It was too dangerous to descend and take soundings. The start was made from Point Barrow on April 15. The weather was good and the visibility excellent, the dispatch said. This condition prevailed for 500 miles. Nine hun- from Spitzbergen, stormy winds were encountered. These, however, were in the fiyers' favor.

At this time the flyers passed an island containing an apparently smooth spot. They were running short of gasoline so their only recourse was to turn back. They made a safe landing on this island, which pfoved later to be Dead Man’s Island, more than 50 miles from Green Harbor, They were held there for five days during the worst Arctic weather Captain Wilkins has ever experienced, Then the gale blew itself out. Much difficulty was experienced, lowever, in hopping off again, Cap- tain Wilkins being left on the jce twice when the plane rose. Finally the plane flew to Green Harbor within an hour.

Eiclson returns trom his flight with Captain Wilkins over the “roof of the world,” he will find two old partners waiting to form the Alaska . Consolidated Airways, Ine. George E. King and Jgo E. Cros- #on, who 'are waiting in New York for their air-faring partner, describ- ed Eielson as a pioneer in Alaskan flying who prefers commercial avia- tion in the north to exploration. In 1924 Eiclson and King formed an aviation corporation in Fairbanks where Eiclson was tcaching English in the high school. They obtained an experiinental award for carrying mail, but the dog team proved so much cheaper the idea was giveh up after eight flights. The corporation now owns three of the ten planes in Alaska, and operates a sort of acr- ial taxi businecss. The mail bid comes up again this year, and the three partners hope that after they have completed their organization and acquired some more equipment they can try again to se- cure a contract to carry the mail by plane, ~ Ideal Conditions Flying conditions in Alaska are ideal, King sa!
