 KirkWall, Orkney Islands, Scotland, Aug. i,--plana tor the flight Of the American round rths-wafld airmer from Iceland 10 Greenland and over Greenland probably will he somewhat altered in conformity with the reports of advance parties who are making urnrations for the arrival oi the a,iniars in this bleak region.
 Flight Commander Lieutenant Low ell II. smith, according 10 latest in' formation received here. expects to abandon the original plan 10 land in a sheltered bay at Anoretsk, Greenland, and to chance finding safe anchorage near the cruiser Raleigh which Nlll anchor as near the harbor as the Ice will permit.
 Lieutenant smith has been advised by Lieutenant Laciair D. schulze or the United States air service, on board inc Danish government vessel, Gertrud Rash, that it will be impossible to make a landing nearer to the bay The Danish vessel which Is acting as a supply ship for the aviators, is ice- bound .b miles out Of Anoretok, Lieut.. schrlt2 reported.
 smith is Cautious
 When he left here. Lieutenant Smith had practically decided to make the landing at this stop on the sea out of the reach of the ice, using the Ger trud Rask, the Raleigh and a Danish warship which is in the same waters 10 make a triangular fence about the planes, thus protecting them from the heavy seas, ice and winds.
 No trouble is anticipated in landing in this manner but Smith fears that difficulty will be found in taking on gasoline and oil and in the possibility that the planes will be damaged by rocking on a heavy sea. The only al- formative in the event of a storm at sea will be landing on the icy coast, risling irreparable damage to the floats. Rather than rest on top of heavy sea. Lieutenant Smith will take the later choice, awaiting new floats If they are necessary.
 The destroycrs Reid and Billngsley are now on their way. to the course from Reykjavik, Iceland to Anvmag- salik, Greenland. The Raleigh will leave Hoefn Hornafjord at the same time that the planes depart and will steam toward Anoretok. By the time the planes leave for their second stop in Greenland, the patrol vessels expect to have received further orders from Washington. The Richmond will probably return to the United States from Reykjavik.
 Lieutenant Smith and Major H. C. Davidson, air attache to the embassy in London, have not heard specifically of the landing conditions at the second Greenland stop. It is assumed that original reports that all the land IS clear and that the waters are calm still hold good.
 The most dangerous part of the trip in the opinion of Lieutenant Smith Will be the lap from Anoretok to Ivigtut because a safe landing will be impossible should either of the planes develop trouble In the air.
 The Richmond which today IS stcaming for Heykjavik, Iceland, ex- poets to arrive at that port tomorrow morning. Wade and Ogden will re- main on board for the remainder Of the trip to Boston by sea along the route of the Atlantic flight.
