To-day was cold and the trail was at
Its best. The balloonists broke camp at
Skunk Island early this morning and
were reported at noon to be only fifteen

Early in the forenoon Bob MacShuuee,
a Cree Indian in spite of his name,
tIotted up to the railway station with
the news that the travellers were on

FLYERS WIFE UPSET
BY FIST FIGHT TALE
Mrs. Hinton Seeks SeclusiOn,
Although Not Believing
Husband Was in Fracas.

Mrs. Walter Hinton OF 325 Beach
i45th street. Neponsit, and Mrs. Stephen
A. Farrell OF 17O1 woodbine street. Glen
dale, Queens. wives OF two OF the Ameri-
can naval balloonists. declared last night
that IL was absolutely unbelievable
that their husbands should have had a
fist fight in a cabin near Mattice be-
cause of statements in Lieut.. Hintons
letter to his wife.
IT cannot believe it is true" Mrs Hin
ton said.
She was finally convinced, however,
that there was some basis for the story,
and she became SO upset that she re-
tired into he bedroom of her home, re-
fusing 70 make any statement. Lieut.
Peter Talbot, friend Of Lieut.. Hinton
was at the Hinton home at the time.
He tried to induce Mrs. Hinton to make
some statement about the trouble, but
she replied:
IT have nothing to say until hear
from my husband
After what those men have en-
dured." Mrs Farrell said, II cannot be-
lieve that they will be anything but
brothers for the rest of their lives No
one OF them deserves any more credit
than the others
Up to late last night neither Mrs. Far
rell nor Mrs. Hinton had received any
word from their husbands.
You know their first duty" said Mrs.
Farrell. lis to communicate with the
Rockaway station and make their off,

not to worry. but to be cool, level head
ed and quiet.
Unless Mr.. Farrell expressly requests
that I meet him at the air station on
his return l shall await his home COM
ing here.
The fight between Lieut.. Hinton and
Lieut.. Farrell was the exclusive topic
OF conversation among the officers At
Rockaway Point last night. During the
day the whole post fairly rang with
Joy because the three aeronauts were
safe, but as the reports of the fight be-
gan to come in the atmosphere changed.
Opposing factions developed quickly and
many officers refused to discuss the
affair. But an air of restraint and
trouble marked the officers Club at the
post last night.

into more clouds and began to ascend,
and through a break in the fog we
thought we saw shack. and later on
we thought we heard the bark Of dog.
we decided that we were somewhere
near settlement. We were then trav-
elling northwest, and l took bearings
from the dogs bark and the shack. We
began to ascend. and little later on the
trees caught our basket and we were all
badly shaken up. None OF us was hurt
however, and we landed safely. The
weather was clear. the day was milo
just about freezing. and there was only
little snow.
I'VE lost no time in setting out to
search for the shack which we believed
we had seen. We wore our flying suits.
and we took along the three pigeons in
a case. We started out at terrific
speed In the direction of where we
thought the dog was barking. From the
bearings I had taken we knew that we
should walk east. and travelled until
dark. having arrived nowhere in par
ticular. and as it was quite impossible
to travel through the forest in the dark
we decided to camp for the night,
Fortunately we had a box of
matches. and SO we lighted fire. This
we made with some pine brush and a
little rotton wood which we picked from
fallen tree with penknife. That pefr=
knife, indeed, was the only thing in the
form of a weapon that we carried. None
of us had firearms. We had no food,
but concluded that we would not eat
any of the pigeons that night, because
we were beginning to think that we
might be lost for some days and that
therefore it would be wise TO conserve
all the food resources we had. During

NAVY KNOWS FARRELL
AS VERY HARD HITTER
Was Heavyweight Champion
on Pacific Coast.

Lieut. Stephen A. Farrell has the rep
utation Of a fighter and a hard hitter
officers and men at the Rockaway Point
naval air station. when told last night
of the quarrel between him and Hinton,
recalled that fifteen or twenty years
ago Farrell was heavyweight boxing
champion of the navy ON the Pacific
coast.
The story is told of him that during
a trip to Italy which he made during
the war some boxing bouts were ar
ranged for the days schedule of recre-
alton for the enlisted men. Farrell was
enthusiastic when he heard about 1t,
but when some one told him that hard
hitting was to be taboo he grunted "Oh,
hell I" and took no further interest.
The next day he arranged for some
bouts of his own. Before they we're
run off, he told the men that the only
way to get in shape for war was to go
at their boxing hard.
He refereed most of the bouts him
self and saw to II that there was plenty
Of action.
1t was said at the air station last
night that relations between Hinton and
Farrell in the course of duty there had
not always been amicable. Several
men recalled having seen the two ofi1-
GERS hotly arguing more than once, and
said that they had not been on good
terms for n long time.
Lieut.. Farrell ended three years SER
vice in the Philippines In 1915. and II
has been suggested that the tropical SER
vice weakened his resistance to the

Describes Experiences.

"The first days out were the worst"
said Lieut.. Kloor, describing their ex-
periences. I'VE had practised walking
with snowshoes at Moose Factory while
we were there and thought we were ex-
terts with them. but after going a day on
the trail changed our minds. II was quite
stormy, too, and the first week we were
out we encountered three severe bliz-
cards. On Sunday week ago II became
20 bad that we were compelled to re-
trace our steps for more than a mile.
we also found that the dogs we had with
us were inadequate for the load we were
carrying and had to send back for
.Jnore. The weather. however, was not
very cold We had lots OF moose meat to
eat and | think we are all feeling fine"
what scientific value is to be derived
from your trip?" was asked "The main
Scientific fact demonstrated" replied
kioor. 'is that balloon of $4,000 cubic
keet capacity can remain In the afr for
moro than twelve hours We were in

have remained there longer Further
than that think rc'hing ought to be

us" said Farrell.
The three men came down the Missi-

Comparatively quick time. All Mattice

Agreed Not To Write.

According TO Farrell. the three men
made an agreement at Moose Factory
not TO write any letters for publication.
Here is his version of the matter given
to the reporters:
Hinton got US all to promise that we
wouldn't write any letters. He said he
and Kioor wanted TO sell their story and
make their expenses out OF II. / prom
fsed | wouldn't write anything except
what I would show them. and Hinton

u had written 10 Hinton and Kloor. and
they agreed 1t was all right. ! wrote
On the letter that II was not TO be pub
lished. I thought that Hinton and Kloor,
who, ! knew, had written letter each,
were writing the same thing on their
letters. Perhaps l ought to have known
better, seeing that Hinton had expert
