ALL REGRET
THE INCIDENT
I ssE, AT MATTICE
The Three Men Will Leave
Late To-day for Toronto,
Being Greatly Refreshed
BY Their First Nights
Sleep in Complete Com
fort, After Adventurous
Trip.

Mattice. Ont, Jan. l2-Lieutenant
Stephen Farrell, L. A. Kloor and Wal
ter Hinton, refreshed by their frs
nights sleep in complete comfort sine
setting out from the frozen Hudson BAY
regions, where they landed on Dec. IA
after hazardous balloon flight from
Rockaway, N. Y, to-day enjoyed thi,
trading posts hospitality, preparatory
to their departure late this Afternoon
for Toronto
They were guests of officials of the
Canadian National railway, who pro,
vided private car in which they spent
the night and in which they will travel
TO Toronto.
To all outward appearances the bit
ter dispute that arose between Lieu
tenants Farrell and Hinton shortly aft.
er their arrival here yesterday, which
eliminated in blow from Farrell that
sent his fellow airman sprawling over
a table in the home of H. p. William
spn, had been settled to-day. The
aeronauts rose early, had breakfast to-
gether in their private car and all re
GREETED the incident that marred their
historical adventure. Both Farrell and
Hinton were reticent to-day, regarding
the occurrence.
The alteration arose over a letter
written by Hinton to his wife from
Moose Factory, where they first found
succor after wandering through the
wilderness four days, subsisting on two
carrier pigeons and caribou moss. In
dhe letter, published by New York
newspaper, Hinton wrote that Farrell,
exhausted from the rigorous wandering
pleaded with his two companions to
1iIl him and eat his body to enable
shem to get back to civilization.
Farrell charged his companion with
sdouble crossing him, saying all had
agreed that their letters should not be
published. Hinton's refusal to retract
WAS the immediate cause for Farrells
blow. Newspaper correspondents inter
5ered and separated the men.
Relaxed from their first nights com
fort, after nearly a month of hardship,
however, the fellow Adventures to-
day apparently tried to forget their
uAhtItnttn anu btEdh W hihiHk Oh lnt
reception planned by the Toronto Ro-
gary club upon their arrival there and
of their ultimate arrival in Roekaway
ON Friday.
All three to-day were somewhat taci.
turn regarding their four days vissici-
tudes after landing in the wilds and be.
fore they finally sighted Tom Mark,
she Cree Indian who led them to the
1ittle Hudson Bay company's trading
post at Moose Factory. Lieutenant
Darrell, however, outlined their hard
ships te,the correspondents, telling how
they zig-zagged through the wilderness.
On the second day after the barking of |
p dog caused them to descend, he said. |
Eve were beginning to think that dog |
bark proposition was rather phony."
They were so hungry on the third
might they could not sleep, he said, Eek
cept Kloor, who slept so soundly and |
so close TO the fire he burned his flying
boots" They were beginning to become |
desperate, he said, by the time they
sighted sled tracks about 10 o'clock on
the morning of the fourth day. They
followed the tracks about five miles,
along the Moose river, before they /
sighted the Indian, who started TO fee
when Hinton offered him a cigarette.
He became more communicative, how
ever. when Kloor gave him a dollar.
The trip from Moose Factory to Mat
flee was uneventful
