years ago, and is familiar with the route.
 They expect to make 35 miles day with the snow motors, and the trip to Besow from Nenana will take 35 days. The food supplies will consist mainly of four, sugar and salt, it being the plan to live off the country chiefly They hope to find plenty of caribou along the route to keep them we'll supplied with food. Smith says they probably will not be able to get away from Nenana until February 15 because the gasoline will not arrive in time.
 Two planes are to make the flight from Nenana to Point Barrow, ne with Captain Wilkins in command, and the other piloted by Ben Eielson, former Fairbanks flyer. Only the Wilkins plane, however, will attempt the polar flight. After Wilkins hops off from Point Barrow the caravan will wait a week, and if he has not returned by that time the other planes will fly back to Nenana on the assumption that Wilkins has reachea Spitzenbergen. In case Wilkins sights land in the vicinity of the pole he is to return to Barrow and then fly back to explore the land.
 Acting on the advice of Explorer Stefansson, Captain Wilkins will not burden his plane with provisions. All the tonnage is needed for fuel, and if Wilkins should be forced down in the polar region he will have to take care of himself, much after the fashion of the Eskimo. He will have large knife. rife and 300 rounds of ammu- milton, and in case of emergency he will be compelled to build himself a snow house and live on seals until he can find a way back to civilization. He could make canoe out of one of the wooden wings of the plane and sled out of the other, and the seals would provide him with heat, light and clothing during his exile.
 Stefansso nhas stressed the import ance of making the start in March, before the polar fogs arise. A start at that time also is necessary in order to reach the pole before the polar expeditions planned by Norway, Germany and France, Wilkins fig ures that if he starts from Point Bar row in the morning he should reach the photographic pole at midnight. The sun at that time will just about touch the horizon and will immediately be- gin t0 arise again.
