Halifax. y. s., July 27.-(By A. Ply
The special American torpedo boat de-
destroyer division, under command OF
Commander Russell Wilson, which is
on its way TO Labrador to meet the
United States army fliers homeward
bound from their round-the-world
fight, swung quietly at anchor today
awaiting sailing orders from the cruis-
err Milwaukee. which tonight was near
ing Hawkes. Bay. New Foundland.
While the weather yesterday was
clear and hot, today the sky was over
cast and the air chilly. Fog was re-
ported as lowering seward. No infor-
nation has come through as yet from
ditions in and around Labrador, Green
land and Iceland. Seafaring men here
express the belief that the destroyers
will meet some icefields, especially off
Greenland, the waters of which are to
be patrolled for the safety of the fliers.
Naval air service officers of the Mil
waukee will survey Hawkes. Bay to To-
cate an anchorage for the planes, and
after establishing this VIII proceed to
Cartwright Bay and thence to Indian
Harbor for the same purpose. Because
OF the necessity of these surveys and
! the time required by the Milwaukee to
make them. it IS probable the destroy
ers will not sail from Halifax until the
middle of the week.
At each of the prospective landing
places which the Milwaukee will pre-
pare tho same plans will be followed
as at Pictou, where Lieutenant Com
| mander Edward Wyman and Lieuten-
ant Commander Kelly of the naval air
service examined the coast line and
then flew over the northern end of the
Bay of Fundy and inland to make
| maps. After anchorages had been
chosen in Pictou Harbor. buoys were
put overheard. These will be watched
by the local authorities, who are plan
ming a great welcome for the American
| fiers when they arrive.
