 Kirkwall, Aug. 2.--The American army airmen on their world flight struck 8 heavy fog off the north coast of the Orkneys after setting out from here for Iceland early today and thS planes separated. Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith and Lieutenant Leigh Wade circled their machines for some time in a hunt for Lieutenant Eric Nelson in the New Orleans, who was appar- sntly in the rear, but not finding him returned to Kirkwall.
 The machines that put back after wards settled down in Houton Bay to await the expected return of iLeuten- ant Nelson.
 A wireless message to the cruiser Richmond, which had preceded the airplanes, notified her of the situa- tion, and she Is returning.
 Lieutenants Smith and Wade re- turned to kirkwall at 11:20 o'clock. Their machines flew over Kirkwall, and & message from Lieutenant Smith was dropped reading:
 Smith Drops Message
 Send a message to the Richmond that we all became separated in the fog and that Wade and have re- turned. Have not seen Nelson since we became separated on the course 25 miles from Birsay."
 Lieutenant Smith expressed his be- lief that Lieutenant Nelson was con- tinuing on to Iceland.
 The flight commander said that just after clearing the Orkneys the three planes plunged into dense fog, ex- tending up 5000 feet. The fliers avoided it by dodging eastward, but were soon trapped in another and thicker fog
 The fiiers immediately lost sight of each other but Smith and Wade, turn ing eastward, came together in a clear space 25 miles off Birsay, in the Orkneys.
 Search For Nelson They searchd half an hour for Lieutenant Nelson and then aban- doned the hunt to seek for the Rich- mond in order to drop a message bag. The Richmond was hidden in another fog off the West Orkneys, and they gave up this effort and returned over Kirkwall, dropping their message and | then anchoring in Houston Bay.
 Had Hopes Today The army fliers got away today | with strong hopes of favorable con | ditions for the 560-mile flight to lee | land. The two days Of delay due to | fog conditions had caused the airmen 10 become impatient. and Lieutenant Smith said that if the weather fay- ored them he hoped their next lengthy

 Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Wade in the Boston, were trapped by the fog when only 60 miles from here after late start this morning, and were forced to turn about and return to their base in Houton Bay.
 Lieutenant Nelson in the New Or leans became separated from his lead CT and supposedly took another course out of the trap, continuing his flight to Iceland.
 Nelson had more petrol and oil than was necessary to carry him to Iceland, even though he wasted a quantity of it searching for his col leagues He was under orders to continue the flight under such condi- tions unless his commander signalled otherwise.
