GREENLY ISLAND, Via Long Point,
April 20.-The work Of taxing of the
undercarriage OF the Bremen Is ahead
Of our hopes. We have succeeded IN
drying up the swamp In which the
machine landed and under the machine
we have built a floor of planks.
The plane Is supported now with
scaffolding and its landing gear has
been dismantled. In its present posi-
ton It would be easy TO roll down the
plank road to firm ground. From this
place 1t could take of and fly over TO
the bay at which we landed with the
relief plane The wheels viii then be re-
placed, IL necessary, by skis and the
Bremen viii be ready for the takeof.
Greenly Island IS a rocky island. in
habited only by the family Of the light
house keeper. The workmen Te have
engaged live on the mainland, and, IN
spite of the storm, which has hardly
abated since our arrival, they have been
at work constantly.
Eugene Thibault of Quebec, the me-
chanlc who came up with me and stayed
to do repairs On the Bremen. has ex-
traordinary powers Of endurance. He
deserves exceptional mention.
Indeed. shortly after the plane arrives
with benzol and spare parts, Capt Koehl
will be able TO Try his engine. II seems
that the engine has not suffered from
the forced landing. which proves that
the great ship viii be able 70 continue
on its glorious way.

In fact, from my experience OF ordinary
european fogs, this particular one was
rather frightening.
Both K0ehl and myself had had lots
Of experience fiying by night and IN
fog and We were not apprehenaive' we
knew that the machine was good, that
our instruments were good and that We
were capable OF doing IL.
We were concerned more than fright
cned, simply because we knew We were
approaching land. and as darkness was
falling, also we realized that the fog
would obscure and prevent our seeing
any landmarks such as lighthouses or
lighted towns which otherwise would
give us every Indication that we had
reached the coast
our fears we're perfectly correct. and
We did fail 10 aight land until We were
many miles inland over IL. And ] have
no hesitation In saying that had II
not been for that frightful fog on New
foundland we could easily have reached
New York on the following day without
any bother

that We did not make that last leg Of

which to locate ones position upon

It is quite possible for the pilot of
machine in poor visibility TO strike the
North American continent between
Cape Race (Newfoundland) and Cape
North Nova SCOTIA, flying In over the
large Gulf of st. Lawrence, where he
would still think he was over the At
lantic Ocean.
He would easily run out of petrol
over this huge expanSe of water. the
size of which can be appreciated by
comparing 1t with the map of Ireland,
and be forced to land in water which
Is equally as rough and dangerous as
the Atlantic Ocean itself.
A further point. arrival at Newfound-
land on all east-weSt flights should be

Compass OF No Use.
Our experience over Labrador and a
comparison of the actual layout of the
terrain with the charts available lead us
to believe that there are large hills con-
taining heavy deposits OF magnetic ole
In the neighb0rhood on account Of
which the magnetic compass Is Of no
practical use.
II a small gyro compass could be per-
fected this difficulty would be elimi-
mated. In our case. the compass was
used only during the fog Later. in
clearing the fog. direction was MAIN
tanned with the aid OF the stars.
For all these reasons and all these
difficulties we realize that We, too, might
have shared the tragic fate of those
glorious pioneers who failed. had il not
