made up of undulating hills and
swampy valleys covered with grasses
and scrub trees.
Many Steaming Cones.
Five miles farther south lies
Paramushiri. second largest of the
islands, where the airmen will make
their first stop on foreign land. This
island is roughly fifty miles long by
ten wide and Is a striking contrast
to the first Kurile to be encountered.
1t is thfckly studded with mountains,
some of them nearly 1000 feet high,
one OF them an active volcano from
which steam is ever rising. Streams
furrow this Island. and in them in
season salmon are numerous. Some
fishermen and Gamers journey to
Paramushiri in the fishing season,
but only handful of guards reside
on the island permanently.

will pass over island after island

these islands are the remains of de-

northern aspect proved too hopeless.
Southern KurfIes Inhabited.
"Yetorofu, the largest and most valu-
able of the Kuriles, will mark the sec

island is more than 100 miles long and
about fifteen miles wide. 1t is close to

tected from the Pacific swell
THE. Kuriles on the whole are un-
pleasant places for the mariners either
of the water or the air. There are many
half sunken racks off shore while treach-
erous currents flow between the island
with each flood and ebb tide. Fogs are
frequent and gales may blow at any
season.
Have Been Wooden Nutmeg.
The chain has been a sort Of wooden
nutmeg to japan. The Japanese of the
dark ages, content with their local af-
fairs, did not know of the islands ex-
most two or three.
When Rus ISLAM adventures
reached Kamchatka early. in the
eighteenth century they pushed down
into the Kuriles in search of furs as
they later worked their way east
ward along the Aleutians. When the
Japanese began to take an interest
in the world outside their principal
islands they found the northern part
or the kuriles under Russian cor
troll: The same thing had happened
in Sakhalin. a. much more valuable
territory. In 1875 japan was in

other islands of the chain When
they fly over the island the aviators
will again come in touch with civ-
lization as represented by light

BREMERTON. Wash, May 1o.-On
Attu Island. farthest west bit of land
belonging to North America, three
pilots and three machines of the
United States Army air service rested
tonight, awaiting the moment when
they can take the longest jump of a
hight around the earth, in which they
have been engaged since March II.
In the meanwhile, On the Alaska
peninsula and in the waters of the
Pacific Ocean southwark and the ice of
the Bering Sea northward, 1900 miles
eastward from the pausing adventur-
ers. plodding search continued for
their commander, Maj. Frederick l.
ten days ago with his mechanic, Staft

Alaska
No Trace Yet Found.
The radio at the Puget Sound navy
yard here. through whose Kissing and
sputtering the world has followed
the four flyers since they left Sitka,
Alaska, April 13. In four machines
together. only to part company two
days later between Seward, Alaska
and Chignik, has brought no word Of
either part Of the severed SQUADRON
since early morning.
1t was believed here that the flyers
on Attu: commanded now by Lieut..
Lowell III. Smith, would use several
days preparing for their flight of S7S
miles to the kurile Islands of Japan
Well rested by hunting, fishing hik-
ing and sailing on Atka Island, they
yesterday did the $50 miles to Attu
in ten hours and fifteen minutes.
For the leap to Japan, the stopping
point OF which is on Paramashiru
Island, one OF the kuriles, at the
very north of the empire, elaborate
preparations have been in progress
for months Two destroyers Of the
United States Navy and two OF the
Japanese Navy have been hoverine
in the Kuriles. waiting for the Amer
lean aviators. The United States
fisheries boat Elder received the
flyers at Attu and the United States
Coast Guard cutter Haida saw them
off at Atka. (.

After one Of the most daring flights
on record Maj. Frederick L. Martin,
lost commander OF the round-the-
world flight, reached Chignik. Alaska
from Kanatak on the evening of
April 26. At IL o'clock on the morn
ing of April so, urged by a grim de-
termination to catch up with his
command at Dutch Harbor, Unalaska,
Maj Martin and his mechanic. Alva
Harvey. again took the air in their
plane, the Seattle. and flew off north
west, in the direction of Chignik
Lake. From that day to this no trace
has been found of the flyers or their
machine.
Maj. Martin was expected to take
the route along the islands dotting
the southern side OF the Alaskan
peninsula, but. due to a snowstorm

The Kurile Island group, the first
forei.n territory which the Amer
ican roznd-the-worid flyers will reach
after leaving Attu, the westernmost
Aleutian Island, Is the subject of the
following bulletin from the head
quarters Of the National Geographic
Society.
Applying a little imagination to
the world map" says the bulletin.
'one might fancy the chains of
islands that stretch from Alaska to
Asia and down that continents east
coast to be a continuous gigantic
popcorn string like those hung On
Christmas trees. Attached to one
/ limb at Alaska the string is fes-
tooned across to a Kamchatkan
-twig' and is then allowed to make a
ascond graceful loop to another
anchor point in northern Japan. This

We're made with the Russian govern
ment in regard to the world flight.
Therefore. the flyers will not touch
at Petropavlovsk, a real port and
town on tne kamchatkan coast, but
will lily directly from the almost un-
inhabited Aleutians to the equally
sparseS peopled northern Kuriles.
The kU1lle group. and therefore jap
anese territory, begins less than ten
miles frssAn the southern end of KAN
chatka, &aid the flyers will doubtless
sight the grass-covered sand hills
that mark this projection of the CON
tinent of fAsia before they begin their
southwark flight over the stepping
stones of tNe Kuriles.
Shimusha. the northernmost of the
kuriles, differs from all it's fellows in
not being mountainous. 1t is a small
isIand' not more than ten miles in
length and perhaps seven miles wide.

From this point on, the Bering Sea
towering mountains form an almost
fmpassable barrier. The plane was
probably flying low in the binding
snow. and according to some theories
may have turned northeast through
the only available mountain pass to-
ward Port Heiden.
Coast guard cutters and cannery
boats have explored the entire coast
line on both sides of the peninsula
without finding a trace of the lost
plane. 1t is expected that the reward
OF $1,000 offered by the North Ameri-
can Newspaper Alliance will spur the
Indians to more thorough search Of
the difficult snow-covered territory
between Chignik and Port Heiden,
with which they alone are familiar.
The coast guard service is also trans
porting, for the Army air service,

which arose shortly after he had
taken off, apparently changed his
plans and decided to fly across to
the northern side of the peninsula
In so doing he would have had the
wind at his right hand when he turn
ed down the 400-mile stretch of coast
to UnalaSka
The distance across the peninsula
from Chignik to Port Moller is 100
miles. After leaving Chignik the
plane was sighted by a trapper
named Sachenroder, flying north over
Chignik Lake, about twenty-five
miles west of their starting point.
In all probability the flyers were
forced down somewhere in the bar
rem mountainous wastes between
Chignik Lake and the Seal Islands.
Indians are now rushing overland
from Chignik Lake to the Bering
Sea, and it is hoped that they may
discover the lost aviators at the viii
lage of Unangashik or between there
and the coast.
