Street. Promises to Fly Over Juneau

otIccLC FIOullSeS tO ly OVcI JuHcdu
 Captain Street. authorized Mayor Grant to inform Mayor Robertson that he would be greatly pleased to grant his re- quest, and that he regretted that it would not be possible for the planes to make landing at the Alaskan capital.
 Thinks Worst Part of Flight is Over
 Captain Street. then made a few remarks expressing his great satisfaction at landing on Alaskan soil. He said he most sincerely appreciated the kind words he and his companions had received since their arrival, but that he did not feel that any praise was really merited until they had reached Nome. He said that ever since landing here he had felt himself in an atmosphere of friendliness, and that it was per haps the result of the good will and encouragement of the people of this town of the far north that he now had the feeling that the worst part of the flight was over and that the remainder of the trip would be down hill. He was positive that a coast hydroplane service is entirely feasible and would prove of incalculable bene- fit to Alaska.
 Praise for Mclaughlin
 Lieutenant Ross Kirkpatrick said that the biggest boon they had had since leaving New York was Sergeant w. w. Mclaughlin of Wrangell. Other officers ap- plauded at the mention of Ser geant McLaughlin's name. As an advance officer of this special aero

congratulating him upc l the safe arrival of the air squadron on Alaskan soil. Captain Street. then introduced Mayor Grant to the other aviators.
 A Souvenir From Gotham
 Captain Street. delivered to J. w. Pritchett a large envelope addressed to Editor, Sentinel, Wrangell, Alaska. l." On the lower left hand corner was written the following: "This envelope con- tains a copy of the New York Times delivered by Captain St. Clair Street., U. s. Army, New York to Nome, Alaska, Aero Ex- petition. The copy of the Times enclosed was found to contain an advance story of the transconti- mental flight and was published on the morning that the aviators took off from Mineola field.
 After landing, the aviators lost no time in getting to work on their planes, oiIing them and re- plenishing the supply of gasoline. It was after dark before the flyers tied their machines down and left them for the night. Arriving in Wrangell the aviators found a course dinner awaiting them at the hotel.
 Congratulatory Cablegrams
 At the close of the din- ner Mayor Grant requested J. w. Pritchett, editor of the Wrangell Sentinel, to read two cablegrams. They were as fol- lows:
 [Fr0m Me Go0e,uor

 Had hoped to get to Wrangell to greet Army aviators, but find 1 am unable to leave. Express my well come and. the welcome of the Ter ritory to Captain Street. and his daring companions, and wish them every success in their trip to Nome.

Capt. St. Clair Street. and His Daring Companions, ,Undaunted by Previous
 Difficulties, Arrive in Fine Spirits. and Receive Enthusiastic Welcome

The arrival on Alaskan soil near Wrangell of four army airplanes from New York at 4O8 Saturday afternoon was a history making event, the significance and inn portance of which will be more fully realized and appreciated in future years than at present.
 The Mayor Declares a Holiday
 When it became known that the airplane squadron was ex- pected to arrive Saturday after noon Mayor Grant declared a holiday. Flags were hoisted over the principal buildings of the town. Early in the forenoon the blowing of the mill whistle and the ringing of bells gave the sig nal that it was time to put out the cat and start for the landing field. The town of Wrangell was soon deserted of its population. All during the forenoon small boats were leaving for the land ing field on Sergeif island. At noon the Burlington Transporta- tion company's Hazel B No. 3, which is so popular with Wrangell people left the City float having in tow a big scow and both boat and scow loaded to the limit with passengers.
 No one seemed to expect the planes to arrive before 2::3O p. m., but after that time there was much watching, and several times distant specks of cloud caused ex- citement for a minute or so and then disappeared. No message had been received at Wrangell stating that the flyers had actually left Hazelton, and at 4 o'clock people were beginning to get restless and say they did not think the planes were coming that day.
 Planes Are Sighted
 Just as one family were get ting ready to go back to their gasboat someone shouted, There they come!' at the same time pointingin the direction of Wran. gell. No one had any difficulty in seeing the approaching planes and all was excitement. Sergeant w. w. Mclaughlin hastily lit a smudge and by that time the buzzing of the machines in the air could be heard.
 Plane No. 4 the First to Land
 The planes circled around over the island several times making

it looked as if he were going to land in the street near Goldstein's store. He dropped a gaily dec orated package addressed to Gov ernor Riggs. The package had been sent by the New York Times. An hour later Planes Nos. 2 and 3 flew over Juneau at a consider able height. At 3:39 Lieutenant Kirkpatrick was flying over the town of Skagway. From Skag- way he seemed to follow the di- rection of the White Pass & Yu- kon railroad. Captain Street., piloting Plane No. flew over Ju- neau Tuesday forenoon.
 It was the original plan to take the Governors package to Nome and mail it to him from there, but after the invitation of Mayor Robertson to fly over Juneau was i accepted, it was decided to drop the package while flying over the capital city.
 Personnel of the Expedition
 This is the personnel of the ex- petition:
 Plane l - Captain St. Clair Street., pilot and commanding officer of the expedition; Sergeant Edmond Henriques, observer and mechanic.
 Plane 2-First Lieutenant Cliff ford c. Mutt, second in command. pilot; Second Lieutenant Eric H. Nelson, engineering officer, pilot.
 Plane 3-Second Lieutenant c. H. Crumrine, photographic off, cer, pilot and observer; Sergeant James Long, pilot. mechanic. Plane 4 4- Second Lieutenant Ross Kirkpatrick, information officer and pilot; M. E. Sergeant Joseph E. English, mechanic and observer.
 All of the flyers but one have mothers living.
 Four of the eight aviators are Southerners.
 Two of aviators are foreign born. Lieutenant Eric H. Nelson is native of Sweden, and Sergeant Edmond Henriques is native of Australia.
 The aviators decided their mas cot was a hoodoo. At Edmonton they gave away a bull pup that they had brought from New York.
 In the flight from Hazelton to Wrangell the aviators flew over much virgin country which on account of its inaccessibility had never before been beheld by hu- man eyes.
 One of the aviators is an ac- quaintance of Miss Irene Sorn- berger, daughter of Wesley Sorn- berger of Wrangell. The young people were classmates at Colum- bia University.
 Much of the time since leaving Saskatoon the flyers have had to rely entirely on their compasses, thus putting their ability as aerial navigators to a most thorough test.
 The aviators are all young men. There is only one in the party over 27 years of age. The youngest is only 22. But determination and pluck are plainly indicated in the physiognomies of all of them.
 It does not look as though an air mail service would be success full in the north if single planes were used for long flights. But with a system of relays it would

 The aviators took a number ( important pictures while in fligf over the inaccessible regions be tween Wrangell and Hazeltor Lieutenants Nelson and Nut have had a special course of trair ing at the Air Service School C Aerial Photography at Langle field near Hampton, Va.
 Captain St. Clair Street. an Sergeants Henriques and Lon saw service overseas during tn war. Some of the other member of the expedition who are also ex cellent aviators were retained O this side during the war mucl against their own wishes. becaus their services were needed as in structors in aviation schools. ] Very few people remained il town on Saturday afternoon, bu those who did saw the plane first. The squadron passed ove, the back channel flying at al altitude of 5000 feet. The Wran gellites, viewing the planes iron an angle, supposed they were fly ing low. and almost directly ove Mt. Dewey.
 Before leaving Hazelton Cap tain Street. decorated his plane with two small flags-one Cana dian and one American. The American flag was lost in flight w. Scott Simpson, Indian agent at Telegraph Creek, B. C., fel. heir to the Canadian emblem and is very proud of being the posses. sor of the first Canadian flag that was ever brought across the Alas. kan boundary in the air.
 The aviators flew at an altitude of 10000 feet part of the way from Hazelton, but greatest part of the distance between the two towns was covered at an altitude of 5000 feet. This was the high est flying done on the trip prior to reaching Wrangell. Most of the flying since leaving New York has been at an altitude of 5000 feet.
 Captain Street. would make good "Sourdough." When he finds he has ice fields and glaciers to cross he adopts the northern style of dress just as naturally as if he had always lived here. At Edmonton he bought a water proofed coat having a fur collar and lined with lambskin with the wool not removed. At Wrangell he bought a pair of logger's rub Der packs and a pair of socks that would weigh almost as much as an ordinary pair of shoes.
 On Tuesday morning Captain Street. and Sergeant Henriques found that raspberries and cream were on their menu. When told that the raspberries were home grown and that there were quan- titles of the same luscious ber- ries throughout the town. Capt. Street said: When I was flying over the con. tinuous chain of glaciers and snow fields between here and Hazelton never dreamed that upon reach ing Wrangell it would be my priv ilege to feast on home grown berries and cream. The rank growth of vegetation and the beautiful flowers here seem won- derful to me-"

an observation of the landing field. Lieutenant Ross Kirkpat- rick of Plane No. 4 gave the spec tators a real thrill when he made a pass by the crowd only a short distance in the air going 60 miles an hour. He then made a wide circle slowing down as he went, and upon again reaching the field he first touched ground only a few feet in front of the crowd. The machine stopped very shortly af- ter first touching ground.
 The other three planes made their landings in quick succession and in seven minutes from the time Plane No. 4 first touched the ground all four planes were safe on terra frma. Plane No. 1 with Captain Street. aboard was the last machine to land.
 On this trip Captain Street. has always been the last one to land and the last one to take off.
 Plane No. 4 has made the first landing at each stop and has also been the first one to take off from each field.
 Moving Pictures Taken
 Richard Suratt, representing the Fox News Agency was on the field with a moving picture cam era and secured some excellent pictures which will be on the screen in New York and other eastern cities within two or three weeks.
 Rev. H. P. Corser and MT. J. E. Worden both took pictures for outside metropolitan newspapers.
 Kodaks were everywhere in evidence. and among the large number of snapshots taken were some splendid pictures.
 Daring Feats by Nelson and Long
 The field was wet from the re- cent rains, thereby causing dan- ger of the planes overturning in landing. On this account all the machines were stopped in less than the normal time after touch- ing ground. For the purpose of steadying the planes while land ing Lieutenant Nelson and Ser geant Long both performed dar- ing feats by climbing out of their cockpits and riding to earth on the tails of their planes.
 The Mayor Extends Congratulations
 As Captain Street. alighted from his machine Mayor J. G Grant stepped forward and shook hands with him, at the same time
The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-08-19

WIS huge success. He made all arrangements beforehand and an. ticipated every possible require ment.
 U. S. Cable Out of Commission
 Sunday morning the aviators left the WrangeIl hotel early for the field on Sergeif island. The weather was not altogether fa- vorable here. Unfortunately the cable was out of commission be- tween Juneau and Skagway. Ser geant w. w. Mclaughlin of the U. $. Signal corps did everything possible to get into communica- tion with Whitehorse by radio via Cordova, Fair banks and other points, but all his efforts were in vain.
 Take-off Postponed Till Monday
 After waiting until noon trying to get a report on the weather conditions at Whitehorse, Captain Street. announced that the flight to Whitehorse would not be un- l dertaken until the next day.
 Early Monday morning the fly CTS left the hotel again for the field on Sergeif island. Owing to heavy rains last week the field was not in the most satisfactory condition. At II o'clock Captain Street. went up in Plane No. l to take a look at the weather. After flying high for a few minutes he considered the weather all right. He could easily have signalled this fact and have set out for Whitehorse, but he preferred to land again and see his companions off safely before he left. Upon landing he announced that the planes would undertake to hop off at 12 o'clock.
 i Three Planes Get Away .~' At 12:O7 Plane No. 4 made a successful take-off. Plane No. 2 then undertook to take off and skidded into a slough. Only very slight damage resulted, but there was necessarily some delay.
 Lieutenant Ross Kirkpatrick, piloting Plane No. 4 circled over the field while waiting for his companions. After being in the air 23 minutes he started out on the flight north alone, leaving at 12:30. At 1:32 Plane No. 8, piloted by Lieutenant C. H. Crumrine, made a successful take off. Two minutes later Plane No. 2, piloted by Lieutenant Clifford c. Mutt, made good take off.
 Captain Street. then attempted to take-off. His machine skidded into a slough, breaking a propel- Ter. That meant that he would not get away that day. Mayor Grant and others took their coats off and placed themselves at Cap tain Streett's orders. The ma chine was rolled back to solid place on the field. The broken propeller was removed, and new one, which was on hand for an emergency was put in it's place. At 6 o'clock Captain Street. and Sergeant Henriques returned to town. They both retired early and were up for breakfast before 5 o'clock Tuesday morning. At 6 o'clock they left for the field on Sergeif island, arriving there within an hour. Capt. Street. Makes Perfect Take off
 At $50 Captain Street. made a beautiful take-off, getting away without the slightest difficulty. Before noon word came over the wire that Captain Street. had passed over Juneau at 10:30, fly ing at considerable height.
