Buffeting an Arctic gale over the perilous ice crags and clotted Fjords of Eilesmerland, two naval planes of the MacMillan polar expedition were unable to find a necessary landing base within 120 miles of Etah, Liuetenant Commander Boyd reported to the navy department by radio. The unsuccessful voyage will result in the aviators attempting a flight from Etah to a place where MacMillan believes there is a landing place available for the planes. The expedition set out at 9:10 p. m. in the brilliant arctic night and the adventures of the air explorers was described by Byrd as follows: "After passing Cape Sabine a spectacle opened to view. All the fjords were covered with ice and snow and the land showed around us and beneath us seemed to be nothing but deep valleys and desert mountains rising abruptly from the fjords and in many cases covered with snow, with greaf glaciers running down the water's edge. There was but very little opn water in the fjords where landings could have been made. "Ellesmere continued its rugged course and it became apparent no base could be found on the land in the direction we were going. Although the presence of ice in fjords that ran parallel to Cannon fjord indicated that there would be no landing place in the water at the end of our journey as the ice was too rough to land on. "At ten miles from Etah fog began to settle ahead, too thick to see through, so it was decided to return to Etah. Had to fly at altitude of 3800 feet to get above low clouds until we reached sight of sound.
