Whitley Makes Up His Mind to Stay

OF course, Whitley would say a thing
like that, because he comes from land
where gentleness and kindness are lit
tie known and where, ns q rule, he
lives longest who is strongest. You
see, Whitley the Snowy Owl makes his
home in the Far North, the land Of
snow and ice, for the greater part of the
year. That is why he wears white
coat. You know, most Of the people
who live way up there dress in white,
Of course, there is a reason for it, and
that reason is that by being dressed in
white to match the snow al! about them
it is easier to remain unseen.
Now, it is seldom that Whitley comes
so far south as he had this winter. He
wouldn't have donesit this time but for
the hard times in the Far North. He
had had to fly south or starve. SO this
is how he happened to appear on tho

wasn't welcome there. Goodness, no!

[ Tlree Bal1oonists
To Tell of Flight
At Inquiry To-day
Crowd Expected as Kloor,
Hinton and Farrell Give
First Official Account of
Perilous Trip Into Canada

The three naval aviators--Lieuten-
ants Kloor, Farrell and Hinton-who
rode into the wilderness of northern
Canada IN free balloon upon the wings
OF gale will tell their story to-day
officially for the first time before the
court of inquiry that was convened at
the Rookaway naval air station yester-
day by Rear Admiral George w. Kline
Because of the thrilling circum-
stances Immediately after the termina
ton of the flight on the shores of
James Bay the authorities at Rock
away have made provisions to care as
far as possible for the influx Of specta-
tors who are expected to attend tho
second session of the court.
The inquiry opened yesterday with
out littlc tormality, Admiral Kline, the
presiding officer. even foregoing the
technical courtesies that are his by
virtue of his rank. The other members
OF the court are Captain Henry H.
Hough and Lieutenant Commander Jo-
seph P. Norflect. Lieutenant Com.
mander Archibald McGlasson is Judge
advocate.
AT the outset of the session Com
mander Damon Z. Cummings, the officer
IN charge of the Rockaway naval air
station, testified that the flight of the
balloon A-a59S, in which the three Off
GERS had been carried to Canada was
fully authorized under the rules of the
Navy Department. He admitted. how
ever. that the authorization had been
issued by MIN on December 3. ten davs
before the balloon actually started.
Ihe authorization, however, he said.
was worded in such manner chat the
balloon was to start at the first avail
able opportunity when the weather WAS
favorable.
Commander Cummings was not at
the station at the time the flight was
made, the station being temporarily
under the command of Lieutenant Com
rander Douglas. In his testimony
Commander Cummings declared the
voyage was for the purpose of train
lnE pliots how to handle free balloons.
Ihls was necessary, he declared, be-
cause whenever the engines of dirig-
ible airship became useless through
some defect the dirigible was to all
lntents and purposes nothing but a
free balloon until repairs could be
made, therefore it was necessary that
the pilots should know how to handle
their craft under such circumstances
The rest OF the session was con-
fined to technical details of the flight
Commander Cummings read several
official reports concerning the steps
that had been taken to trace the bal
4oon. The three officers who were on
the fight were net present during the
session. Lieutenant Stephen A. Farrell
was reported to be slightly indsposed
at the station and it is not definitely
known whether he will be able to APP
pear before the court to-day
