BALLOON CREW IS SAFE AND SOUND

lContinued from page one)

when the snow disappears and travel ling over the hazardous trails becomes safe
 The wives of Lieutenants Hinton and Farrell. who are in this city. were promptly notified of their husbands safety. They never lost hope, they said, but the report made by Lieutenant Evans of the air station. following his recent trip to Canada to assist in or ganizing the search, led them to believe that they might not receive news of their husbands until the spring, when the trappers come out from their win ter campaign.
 "The news has reached me sooner than I expected" said Mrs. Hinton. '"I had the utmost confidence In the report of Lieutenant Evans and I felt that they were safe all the time. l can not say more at this time. as am too over joyed and happy to think
 Thank God they are safe and sound :. Now to hear from him. and then to see him." Mrs Farrell exclaimed, when she heard the news. santa Claus was a little late. but he has been awtully good to our two children and myself"
 Ottawa, January 2-Mattice, Ontario, the point from which the message from the naval aviators was filed, is sta tiuit ou ti1S lNdtlOndi ITanScOnlluStdi railway some miles west of Cochrane, Ontario. It is believed here that the message was delivered at the Mattice telegraph office by an Indian runner who was dispatched from Moose Factory immediately after the arrival of the offi- cers at that trading post
 The fact that this runner was some two weeks on the trip to the railroad line is believed to give some indication of shc time it will take the flyers themselves to make the return voyage to civilization. Owing to the fact that men unused to the ways of the north woods must make as good time on the winter trail as the Indian or the habitant. 1t is thought likely that Lieutenants Kloor, Hinton and Farrell will be about three weeks on the way toythe railroad line. travelling by dog team with Indian guides. If they left Moose Factory December q. az planned. according to their message ts' the Rockaway naval station, they might be expected to reach Mattice or Coch- rane about the middle of January.
