Fueling of Big Ship
Is Halted BY High
Winds; Miss Boil Is
Trying to Make Hop

TREPASSEY, N. F., June 5.-tP)-
The Fokker monoplane Friendship.
in which Miss Amelia Earhart OF
Boston and her two male compan-
ions hope to cross the Atlantic was
buffeted BY strong northwest winds
here today which made plans for
completion Of fueling impossible.
Seven more tanks Of gasoline re-
mained to be poured into the planes
reservoirs. The fliers announced
the takeoff, which last night seemed
likely upon completion of the fuel
ing operation, had been postponed.
Aside from the wind the weather
was clear and fine.
An intimation that the Friendship
might fly beyond England was given
by Miss Earhart, Pilot Wilmer
Stultz and Mechanic Louis Gordon
in conversation here this morning.
They said that their plans for a
landing place on the other side OF
the Atlantic were indefinite. Their
purpose, they added, was to fly un-
til their fuel was exhausted and then
descend, and they hoped tc make n
longer flight than any of their
Clad in brown knickers and higa
laced boots, Miss Earhart appeared
to be in high spirits on the eve Of
her great adventure.
Every pncaution was taken to
make the flight as safe as possible.
The plane has three motors, any two
Of which will keep it in flight; il
has been given extensive tests last
ing over a period of seven weeks as
to fuel consumption, lifting capaci-
ty and air speed; il is equipped with
pontoons and carries two radio sets.
An emergency one can be operated
even II the plane is forced down,
and the motors are silenced.
Mechanics worked on the ship dur
ing the night attempting TO find
what they thought was a leak in the
fuel compartments. They said that
the trouble was slight, however. and
would not defer the projected
hopoff.
Stultz will be his own navigator
and radio operator. but each Of his
companions is competent to relieve
him at the stick.
Miss Earhart, who has been fly
ing for five or six years, said in
letter TO her sister just before the
take-off from Boston that her de-
cision to make the flight was
prompted by her wish TO play for a
large stake
