SKEPTICAL IN NEW YORK.
Aviators Doubt Possibility OF Flight Be-
ing Resumed.

NEW YORK. April II tPl.-Aviato.s
here believed that IL the transatlantic
moaoplane Bremen should be able To
t.ke OF from Greenly Island today IL
would not reach Mitchell Field until to-
morrow morning anyway.
The distance Is slightly more than
i.i00 miles. so that If the take-off were
made at noon and the fight made nom
stop. which was considered the faintest
possibility. the plane would not arrive
until midnight
II was considered unlikely that more
than very small supply OF fuel would
be available at Greenly and that there
fore stop would have 10 be made for
refueling II was also considered likely
that II the flyers did get IN the air
they would concern themselves chiefly
with getting 10 some more civilized point
as nearby as possible for repairs before
continuing to New York
On the whole. aViators felt that the
arrival Of the Bremen was more likely
70 be late tomorrow or the next day
than during the coming night
Many we're extremely skepticai about
the ability Of the plane TO get into the
air at all from Greenly, persons ac-
q1ainted with the terrain pointing out
that the Island was small, that 1t was
formed Of two hills with a scoop of
rough ground between and that the
surrounding Ice foes presented a sur
face entirely unguited for a take
Evening star., 1928-04-14

The same applies to flying boats. which.
at the present time, are laid up for the
Winter.
Thus. it has been proved almost i'm
possible to leave Immediately for the
scene of the Bremen's landing. Plans
will likely be made to prepare ma
chine suitable for the work. but 1t must
be a flying boat or seaplane TO reach,
with any degree Of possibility. the
Strait of Belle Isle. Another difficulty
that must be considered Is the landing
conditions at Greenly Island or its vi
cinity. Advices for the Marine Signal
Service Station at Point Amour. and
other Government stations IN the strait,
state that there is heavy open 1fe,
which, though distant from shore. Is
liable to change in direction With an
alteration in the wind direction, and
be floated to the point at which an
airplane would desire 10 come down.
Gas Supply Lacking.
Another consideration for any pilot
who should venture forth on the S73
mile fight to Point Amour is that ot
gas supply There is no gasoline cache
in the vicinity of Belle Isle, which Is
878 miles from Montreal, though 1t IS
understood that there are supplies az
Seven Islands. about 430 miles from
Montreal A plane capable OF carr
ing enough fuel for a fight Of about
900 miles at least would be required,
and it is doubtful If even such guam
tity is available at Seven Islands, near
Clarke City.
Fogs also are liable to occur in the
Gulf Of St Lawrence at this season.

CANADIAN STEAMER
IS SENT TO ISLAND
Possibility of Sending Plane
to Depend on Report
on Ice Conditions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA. Ontario. April 14-The
government steamer Montcalm was
steaming today To Greenly Island to re-
turn the German-Trish crew of the
monoplane Bremen from ice-bound
wildS.
Diverted by government order from
her patrol course. the ship early today
was in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 200
miles from the landing place of the
transatlantic flyers. Capt. MERCER re-
ported he was proceeding with sufficient
fuel aboard for the voyage.
Whether an airplane would be dis
patched to the island was to be con-
sidered later in the day. officials said.
There was a feeling in official circles
that such a step would be inadvisable
unless conditions were favorable and
Capt Mercier has been asked for full
report on fce conditions in the district
CfficialS said that the project would be-
given full consideration on receipt of
his report
1t was pointed out that the date OF
the Montcalm's arrival at the Bremen S
landing place would depend entirely on
ice conditions A large amount of Ice
was reported in the gulf, and 1t was
said that conditions probably would be-
even more unfavorable rs the Mont
calm approached Greenly Island
The question of sending aid to the
crew OF the Bremen was considered at
conference, that began last night and
continued until early this morning, be-
tween J, l.. RalSton minister of nation
al defense, and Alex Johnston deputy
minister OF marine and fisherits
In the event 1t Is decided 10 send an
airplane TO the island. II was believed
that a five-seated ship woulc be used.
A plane of that type was at Shirley
Bay, near Ottawa. about 500 miles from
the Brcmcn's landing place

papers and individuals to get into COM

Efforts to charter an airplane in Que
bee or the maritime provinces Of Can
ada to make the trip to the island were
unavailing
The Canadian press endeavored in
vain to charter plane from every one
Of the aviation companies operating in
eastern Canada. In each case practi-
cally the same reply was given:
Our machines are laid up for the
present" it was declared. "on account OF
the impracticable landing conditions. .
Difficulties Are Feared.
While an airplane may land safely on
water in one section of the country, it
may have to alight or take off from
another district by means of either
skis or wheels. Flying. until the last
few days. was carried on with ski-f1tted
planes but there is no snow covered
territory in the vicinity of Belle Isle on
which machine so fitted could alight.
In some cases it is even Impossible to

the same reason it is impossible TO fit
