DETROIT. April 81 Opl. -~ Capt.
George Hubert Wilkins veteran Arctic
explorer, and Lieut. Carl B. Eielson.
Alaskan pilot, have flown across the
top OF the world" from Point Barrow,
Alaska. to spitzbeTgen.
In brief message TO the Detroit
News today, wilkins reported the sue
ceaNftl accomplishment OF the 2,200-
mile flight acrOos the Arctic Ice pack
IN these words:
Reached spitxbergen after 20i2
hours flying. One stop 5 days account

Later 1t waA learned the stop was at
Doedmangoeiro dead Mans fsiandl
rs miles from Sgaibard. whence VIII
kins sent out his radio message. The
message was dated April Il. and timed
1871 pm.
II was wilkins third attempt TO
span the Arctic wastes, and word of It's
successful elimination came after lear
had been expressed that he was lost
after having left Point Barrow. lie
was last heard from at Point Barrow
early this month. when his radio sent
cat 4 fTaRmentary message about plans
for a take~off shortly.
Plans for organizing a rescue expedl"
ton were being talked Of here when
Capt. wilkins message from SVaibard
was received
Whether Capt wilkins actually flew
over the North Pole was not known.
His plans. however contemplated 0
course between the pole and the North
American continent. where he desired
10 make scientific observations.

extra clothing TO proiong the chances
Of the explorers in case they had a
forced landing and crash, with repairs
TO the plane impossible.
That he and Eileson remained five
days on forced stop during his fight
to SpitZbergen and then we're able to
continue indicates that with his usual
foresight and knowledge Of conditions
they were provided with primus stoves
for reheating the Wright "Whirlwind"
engine Of the plane. also covering Of
some sort to place over the engine for
this warming-up operation.
The temperature at Barrow when
they took off would range about 30 10
As degrees below zero fahrenheit.
Triumph for wilkins.
1t requires several hours OF heat from
the primus stoyeS--a small gasoline
single burner using two or three of the
stoves, to bring the temperature of a
tent-covered motor up TO possible
starting temperature.
To have made the present fight sue
cessfully is a triumph Of peculiar per-
sonaI nature to Capt wilkins. The un-
scientifically minded have for three
years been asking, what's the use Of
such attempts?"
Popular opinion acclaims the success
full venturer, whether he is in the quest
of pure science or interesting romance.
But. as certainly. popular Judgment Is
likely to call a man who fails fool
wilkins was fairly proof against
sentimental attack from either quarter.
He is essentially scientist. He had
the one purpose Of getting more knowl-
edge about portion of the earth that
has never before been traverscd and
realized fully the value Of such knoWl-
