STONE AGE MAN
MUMMIES ARE
FOUND IN. TOMB
Inaccessible Island Off Alaska
Yields Four Bodies OF Pres
historic People
OTTER SKINS LINE VAULT
Ancient Ice King Clothed In
Bird Skins Is Buried
With Servants

New York, July 6.-(R-The dis
covery Of what are believed to be
mummified remains Of Stone Age
man is described in q dispatch to
today's New York Times from Har-
old McCracken, head Of an expe-
dition Of the American Museum of
Natural History to the Aleutian
Islands off the Alaskan coast.
Four mummified bodies, three
adults and one infant, were found
on the summit of an almost inAc-
cessible island, along with their
clothing, domestic articles. hunting
weapons, and other paraphernalia
that went with the buri,l Of pre-
historic man.
The burial tomb bore evidence Of
Mongolian influence, but there was
nothing to indicate contact with an
cient or modern civilizations.
The vault was made of we'll shaped
and mortised drift logs held to-
gether by bone nails. and had been
wedged in 4 rock crevice on an al
most unscalable peak. The lining Of
the vault was Of cured otter skins.
The vault itself was divided into two
parts, in one Of which was the body
Of q man. evidently Of high rank.
and in the other the bodies Of the
other two adults and the child.
The body Of the ancient ice king
was clothed in otter skins surmount-
ing a shirt Of bird skins, both elab-
orately decorated. Wrapped around
the body was . cere-cloth Of skins OF
northern animals, surmounted by an
other layer Of woven grass. The
whole was enclosed in q parchment
like layer Of sea-lion intestine. The
other bodies were less elaborately
dressed, and were believed to be
those of servants.
The expedition was financed by
Charles H. Stoll Of New York, who,
with his wife, is aboard the Nor
rissey, the expeditions ship.
Mr.. McCracken said one Of the
bodies was being preserved as, they
found it, 50 that experts Of the mu-
scum here might examine the find
exactly as it was taken from the
burial vault.

Rio Janeiro, July 6.-R-Two
Italian airmen today held the record
for the longest nonstop flight -
4,417 miles.
Making the first continuous flight
from the mainland Of Europe to the
mainland Of South America, Captain
Arturo Ferrarin and Major Carlo p.
Del Prete brought their huge Savoia
plane to rest on the beach at Point
Genipabu, 10 miles north Of Natal
at 7:50 p. m. $50 p. m. eastern
standard time) last night. They had
been in the air within one minute Of
So hours having hoped off from
Monticello field, Rome, at 7:51 p. m.
Rome time. (1:6. p. m. eastern
standard time) Tuesday.
They broke the distance flight rec
ord Of 5000 miles set by Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine 4
little more than a year ago in 4
flight from Roosevelt, N. Y, to
Eisleben, Germany.
After a rest Of an hour and 20
minutes at Point Genipabu the ltal-
ians hoped off again for Rio
Janeiro 1900 miles away.
In their record-breaking flight
they followed a route past Gibraltar
and over the Cape Verde islands and
southwest over the Atlantic before
landing on the beach. This course
is 4,542 miles, but an air line is
used in determining the record.
Stormy weather with heavy clouds
put the flyers in peril in the last
hours Of their long flight. They
had difficulty in getting their bear
ings after reaching the coast Of
Brazil. Sighted over Port Natal at
4:05 p. m. they were believed to be
headed for Rio Janeiro. Prepara-
tions were Immediately begun there
to welcome the airmen and special
trains began to carry enthusiasts to
the Alfonso aviation field to greet
the flyers.
Apparently the airmen became
confused, for three hours and IS min
utes after being sighted at Port
Natal they landed on the beach ten
miles to the north at 9:1O p. m.
Captain Ferrarin was q member
of the Italian Schneider cup team
which won in the United States in
1926 and lost to England in Italy in
1927. Major Del Prete accompanied
Commander francesca De Pinedo
on his flight from Sardinia to
Africa, South America, North Amer
ica, and across the Atlantic by way
of the Azores to Italy.
