P)-The American aviators will be
ready to resume their whirl around
the world tomorrow but will wait
in this tiny village by the Humber

"go."
The process of converting. their
three planes from the overland type
into seagoing ships will be complet-

labor of the six days Of hard work
which the f1iers have put in on their
machines.
The three planes have been put
into shipshape order and now glistcn
like new. The stains of Pacific ice
and of India's blistering sun have all
been removed. The new wings
which were sent here from Califor-
mia will not be needed. The few
splits in the wing fabrics, caused by
the heat of the exhaust, have been
repaired and the fiiers expect to sail
home with the same wings which
carried them away from the United
States. Today smaller radiators
were being Installed.
