It traveled the 9,000 miles from New York to Nome and return In 110 flying hours. The four were flying their original motors upon their return. The flight ranks with any aerial event, attempted anywhere. The bird-me- n flew over at least 2,000 miles of virgin territory, without landmarks or landing fields. They landed fifty times on strange fields, often almost impossible as landing places. The British last spring attempted to fly from Egypt to the cape, over the wilds of Africa. One pilot reached the destination, but only after he had replaced his machine and motors, and after much delay and inconvenience. , In the transcontinental reliability test last Lieut. Belvin Maynard, the winner, broke his motor near Omaha, and had to change It entirely before proceeding. Only one Liberty motor succeeded in making the journey both ways. p Compared to the flight made by the Englishman, John Aicock, which gained for him recognition from the British government in the form of knighthood, most fliers will agree that the Alaskan flight Is a greater feat The Alaskan ... flight was a steady grind of over three months duration. The personnel of the expedition was as follows: Plane No. 1, Capt. St Clair Street, In command of expedition; Sergt Edmund Henriques, mechanician; No. 2, piloted in turn by First Lieut. Clifford C. Nutt and Second Lieut. Eric C. Nelson, engineering officer; No. 8, Lieut. C. H. Cumrine, photographic officer, Sergt. A. 1 Vlerra; No. 4, Lieut. B. C. Kirkpatrick, information officer, Joseph E. English. Capt Howard T. Douglas, went ahead of the flyers, making preliminary arrangements and blazing the trait close-u- p . Here are some pen pictures secured from Lieutenant Nutt: We cut across the international line when we landed at Portal. From Portal to Saskatoon was the only leg of the journey In which we had the wind with us. We made the 310 miles In three hours, and at Saskatoon got. our first taste of that Canadian hospitality which added so tremendously to the enjoyment of the long journey.' 1 d Almost of the population, though Ameri-ca- n born, are now Canadians in spirit. About 100 miles from Saskatoon we left the prairie country, and got into a region of forests and lakes, with rolling hills, some of them 6,200 feet high. At Edmonton, Captain Streets machine had a leak in the gas tank, and we .were held up there for three days, getting that patched up. The people at Edmonton are intensely Interested in aviation as a means of developing the country. They talked of getting planes to survey the Peace river country to the north of them, a . big stretch of arable land now wholly undevel-opepack mules being the only means of transportation. The transportation to mines of the region also offered another opportunity for avi-- ation to exemplify its usefulness.Our first attempt to leave Edmonton was unclouds.- - Taking successful because of off at 1,000 feet, we had to drop to 300, and when about 100 miles out, Street motioned us to return, The next day, in spite of a stiff wind, we made the jump to Jasper park. This is a Canadian national park, 400 miles long by 100 wide, ' abounding with game and fish. Here we found one of the best landing fields on the whole route. V Colonel Rogers, warden of the park, met us and extended courtesies and hospitality.- - Tents were ; provided for our accommodation with a Chinese cook in the mess tent Gas and oil were on the' field, and after cleaning up our busses and get' ting everything in shape for the next day, we felt decidedly as if we needed a bath. We set out, expecting to take a dip In the Athabasca river, but were wkrned that we should find the water too cold ; so with a guide, we set out for a little lake about a half mile away, which, we were told was a good bathing place. When we were ready for the dip somebody stuck his foot In the water to try' the temperature. Well, all I can say is, if the Athabasca river is colder than that little for temperlake was, then its a record-breake- r ature. But it was a choice of two evils. We were ready for a bath ; we either had to get in the . water and take it, cold as It was, or be literally eaten up by mosquitoes. Wq chose the water. It is impossible to - conceive the multiplicity and ferocity of the mosquitoes In this region ; and, Indeed, to the very northernmost limit of onr flight They almost block traffic, they are so numerous, and they certainly block progress, preventing work at some, seasons of the year. at Jasper, Captain ' Soon after the hop-of- f caused by the oil on fire, machine caught Streets tanks being too full and overflowing down the exhaust pipe. Henriques, who was driving, put the plane into a side slip and was going to land In the river, but as they descended, the change of balance stopped the flow of oil and the fire extinguished Itself. We got Into Prince George Just ahead of a rainstorm, and without Street. We lighted flares to aid him In finding the landing field. Outline of the field was, however, of course indefinite; so when Street alighted he came In with great speed and overshot, rolling out of the stretch where he struck a field into a cnt-ovstump that took off about four feet of the end of his left wing, breaking both main spars and tearhoriing all the ribs out, also the left half of his zontal stabilizer and the aileron. To get a wing aert to us in possible space of time, would take eight days from Mather field, Sacramento, Cal., the nearest point available. So we got busy on the Job ourselves, with the help of a big Swede carpenter who was a wonder and Be sure its Bromo The genuine SOC. one-thir- 8ALT LAKE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
