 "While at Barrow and during our flights we saw literally millions of ducks of more varieties than I had any idea existed. The natives go out on the ice and kill hundreds of the ducks, and whenever one of new va riety is found it is taken to Mir. Brewer to be mounted and sent to some museum in the States.
 And by the way, since MT. Brewer went to Point Barrow, in 1880, there have been fifty-two shipwrecks near there, and they have taken earn of as high as 300 shipwecked people there at one time.

neau. The amateur called Heyser and said he could hear him -faintly and asked him to use more power. When Heyser did the last tube burned out and there was no chance of sending any more messages. With his impro- vised set he picked up sevral mes sages in Italian, but we could not de- cipher them. Most of them were in code numbers only.
 "I cannot say too much in praise of the wonderful people of Point Bar row, particularly of Charles Brewer, who has been there for forty years and is manager of the trading post for Liebes 6 Co.,, and his assistant, Allied Hobson. They extended us every assistance possible in making our search for the missing men, and their hospitality to us was unbound ed.
 'The report sent our from Fair blanks that the injured men at Barrow were being cared for in an improvised hospital is entirely erroneous. The hospital there is one of the most com plete in Alaska and will compare fav- orably with the Anchorage hospital. It is finely equipped and most eff ciently handled. Dr. Newhall, a fine physician and surgeon as we'll as minister of the gospel, is in charge, with Miss Morgan as head nurse over a corps of trained assistants.
 "Merrills high character and hero ism is attested by Robertson and Clark, who said that when they left the plane in an endeavor to reach the coast, Merrill insisted on them taking all of the food that remained except little rice. Merrill's plight after starting his comrades off with all the food is told in his log of May 23, where he chronicled joyously that he had found doughnut in the tail of his ship.
 "When I left Barrow the plane car ried the first air mail ever sent out of the postoffice there for Anchorage. In all, about 20 pounds of first-class mail was taken aboard, with the stamps cancelled with the Barrow postmark. It was almost the irony of fate that I met the mail carrier be- tween Kotzebue and Barrow, on my flight with the mail. He was 13 days out of Barrow and had at least four or five days more hard. travelling to reach Barrow, while the plane was
