MAINE GOSSIP
when the Days Are Short


When I was young it seemed to me
The days were all about the same !;
If some were short and some were
long
But now it's different, in the spring
When fishing time is drawing near,
The days are getting mighty long
I've overhauled my fishing gear
And when at last, beside stream,
In full content, the limit caught;
My stomach says it's supper time
BY Gollies-but the days are short!

tors, ripping open crates or doing any
OF the hundred and one things neces-
sary to outfit the vessels for the voy-
age.
And the variety Of supplies and ap-
paratus that has been put into the
two ships is only equalled by the
variety that is yet to be placed there.
Radio sets, deep sea sounding lines,
hams. grape juice, copper cylinders
in which to leave records of the ex-
petition, Liberty motors and gaso-
line, gasoline and more gasoline.
The entire central portion of the
wharf was piled high with Jenny"
gasoline, a special high test fuel for
the use Of the three great planes
which are being carried along. There
were many large drums of it on the
wharf and a great deal more on the
Peary. dashed to the deck. In addi-
ton there were cases upon cases of
the same oil in two gallon tins, pack
ed several tins to the case. 1t was
apparent that the gasoline in the
small tins was to be packed into the
planes at Etah and that it would
base at Cape Thomas Hubbard. That
III shC VI utilo was pTObelDly LUZ use q /
the main base at Etah.
Perched upon the after deck of the
Peary are the three immense "am-
phibian" aeroplanes, shorn of their
wings and securely dashed down to
prevent damage in the rough seas.
With their large four blade propel-
Tors they look capable of standing
the rough work that is cut out for
them. The landing wheels, upon
which are balloon" tires, are so ar
ranged that they fold part way into
the pontoon float of the planes and
the ship may land upon water, land
or ice.
The following story told at the
wharf today as an illustration of the
way in which Macmillan solves
problems off hand" According to
the story, an hour before the Peary
sailed from Boston Wednesday there
was still one plane to be slowed
away and apparently no place in
which to put it. In fact it had been
declared impossible. Macmillan came
aboard, looked the ship over for
minute and said Put the third plane
in between the other two and slight
ly behind them" 1t was tried and
found that this was the solution to
the problem.

heaven If he could see the equip
ment that is being taken on this trip
by the four photographers who are
making the trip. Maynard owen
Williams, staff correspondent of the
National Geographic society, has
three of various kinds. His partner,
Jacob G. Gayer, color photographer
for the society, has several more,
and Chief Aerographer Albert Fran
els has two aerial cameras, two mo-
ton picture cameras and one or two
others. o. K. Melkon potion picture
operator, has few more to add to
the collection. The men are pre-
pared to take pictures of all sorts,
both in colors and in black and white
and they expect to bring back much
that is of scientific value.
Upon each ship, the Bowdoin and
the Peary, the photographers have a
dark room in which to load their
be done in near darkness.
John Reinartz, the radio man on
the Bowdoin, certainly Knows his
stuff" He has perfected short
wave transmitter for use upon each
Of the three planes. upon the two
ships and at the advance depot
transmitters will operate on a wave
length of 40 meters and they have a
radius of $50 miles.
Reinartz feels confident that by
the use Of the short wave sets the
various parties will be able to keep
in touch with each other at all times
and that communication with the
outside world may be made possible.
He will work on 40 meters. in the eve
ming and during the daytime on 20
meters when working outside, which
will be done almost exclusively with
amateurs so that he may get the
benefit of their experience and help
in maintaining communication with
the states.
The installation on the planes is
with a permanent antenna and with
dry cell batteries so that in case of
a forced landing the wireless will not
be rendered useless as would be the
case with the navy type of appara-
tus, utilizing electricity from gener-
ators run by small propellors on the
wings.
In addition both ships carry re-
ceivers for radio broadcasting pro-
grams by means of which they will
be able to get their entertainment
home"
Eagle Boat IS was in the harbor
today, loaded, it was understood,
with more supplies for the Arctic ex-
petition. If that were so it would
seem to the landlubber as if the
Eagle boat would be obliged to go
with the Peary and Bowdoin as by
the time the last load of stuff from
the dock is placed in the hold of one
or the other of the ships, there can
hardly be room for anything.
The work of loading proceeded
rapidly today in spite Of the rain
