Halted For 5 Days by Bad
Weather - wilkins and
Eielson Are Well
North Dakotans Rejoice at
Success of Trip in Which
Hatton Man Takes Part

London, April 21.-(AP)--An ex-
change telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen says that the newspa-
per Politiken has received message
from Svalbard stating that Captain
George H. Wilkins, arctic flyer,
landed near the Svalbard radio sta
tion at II o'clock this morning.
A previous message to Politiken,
also from the Svalbard radio sta
ton, stated that Captain Wilkins
flew from Point Barrow and landed
near Doedmanasoeira, where bad
weather stopped him for five days.
Doedmansoeira is an uninhanited
island on the north side Of Isfjord,
about Is miles from Svalbard.
The crew of the plane was report
ed in excellent condition.
Svalbard is the name applied to
the entire archipelago of Spitzberg-
en-, Bear Island and the adjacent
islands in the Greenland Sea. The
distance from Norway to Bear Is
land is ESQ miles north and to
Spitzbergen 375 miles. Spitzbergen
was the point for which Captain
Wilkins set out from Point Barrow
in a direct line across the north
pole.
Captain wilkins was looking for
the SO called "blind spot" and
planned to follow a course between
the north pole and the North Amer
ican continent.
The arrival of Captain wilkins
near Svalbard, from Point Bar
row, Alaska, represents the sue
cessful completion of Captain Will
kins' plan to fly across the polar
regions.
The Wilkins plane carried q
radio, but despite a constant watch
bv radio stations, complete silence
enveloped the activities of the exre-
dition evenl from the time that the
aviator w&s expected to take off
from Point Barrow.
Captain Wilkins, noted Austral-
ian explorer, was accompanied by
Carl B. Eielson, of Hatton, N. D., an
Alaskan pilot.
