Friends Who Helped
wilkins Outfit Trip
Rejoice at Success

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL
Friends of Capt. George Wilkins
and his pilot, Ben Eielson, heard
with Joy and surprise today OF the
successful flight made over the
top of the world"
Wilkins, who outfitted his e1pe-
dition here, was last heard from at
Point Barrow, Alaska, on April 4.
His portable radio set kept him In
constant communication with San
Francisco up until that time. he
waa also in constant communication
with the Government radio station
at Seward, Alaska.
On that date, wilkins apparently
dismantIed his beach sending sta.
ton and placed, his radio set aboard
his plane. Stations were advised
to watch for his signals during his
flight. :,
As days went by and no word
came from the plane, considerable
anxiety was manifested.
On April 10, r. r. Stevens,
Seattle amateur radio operator, re-
pprted he was certain he had heard
the signals Of the wilkins short
wave set. He deduced from the
manner in which the signals sounded
that they were coming from q plane
in motion.
These signals, however, were not
heard at Seward, Alaska, where
a constant watch was kept on
the Wilkins wave length.

They had hoped that the plant
with Bernt Balchen and Floyd Ben

pairs could be started tonight.
The relief plane will bring the
propeller OF the sister Junkers ship,

it will carry a large kit Of tools,
as facilities here are limited.
The weather here is cold and
windy. but the baron and Captain
Koehl were hopeful that it would
not grow any worse so that the re-
lief plane can get through tomor-

According to tentative plans the
repairs will be made Monday, and,

Major James q. Fitzmaurice was
at the airdrome. today, expecting to
see the Ford hop off.
He expressed keen regret over the
Hines of the airmen.
BY the light of huge bonfires
rescue workers labored throughout
the night to prepare the tri-motored
Ford monoplane for it's flight.
First skis were fitted on the huge
plane. Then its tanks were filled
with sufficient gas to provide 1000
mile cruising radius. The distance
from this place to Greenly Island
and back is about ] 500 miles.
Then additional fuel was loaded ON
the plane for the Bremen's flight to
New York. Meanwhile, the propeller,
undercarriage and other repair parts
needed by the Transatlantic mono.
plane had been packed and placed
aboard.
Need Cigarettes Badly
Cigarettes and other Iuxuries
were also loaded on the Ford plane
for the German filters. FitzInaurice

Tragedy To Ship Averten
by International News Service
LAKE ST. AGNES, Quebec, April
21.-A near. tragedy almost marred
the rescue plans for the German
filters.
When the Ford relief plane
landed here from Detroit, it's right
wheel sank into a soft spot. Brent
Balchen, co-pilot of the plane with
Floyd Bennett, jumped to the
ground while the propellers were
still spinning.
He tried to get the wheel ont of
the mire with long iron Cro~Dar.
The end of his lever came in con-
tact with the right propeller There
was a clicking sound and Balchen
pulled the lever back.
The propeller tip was slightly
bent. Had it been wooden instead
of metal, it would have splintered
with possible fatal results to Bal
chen and nearby spectators.
AS it was, the damaged blade was
promptly Strengthened and no harm
was done.
