TWO Army FLYERS
Find OCEAN OF ICE
$4,000 FEET IN AIR
Two Pilots Blame Failure to
Establish New Record on
Visibility Phenomenon
rs DEGREES BELOW ZERO
Dip Into Crystal Mirage Of the
Heavens; Exposes Face
and Suffers Ice Blister

Dayton, Ohio, Feb. l3.-(R-Two
army flyers In an old army plane
reached an unofficial altitude Of 39,-
600 feet from Wright field yesterday,
and brought down with them an ac-
count Of q condition above the clouds
which meteorologists long have SUI
spected but never proved.
The flyers. Lieut.. johnson and Cap
tain A. w. Stevens, pilot and photog-
rapher, were forced down by de-
plenished fuel at Norton field, COL
ulnbus. Ohio.
The instruments indicated that
they had reached an altitude out
reaching the record of 38,420.5 feet
held by Lieut.. g. G. Campion, Of the
United States. No record was claimed
because rules Of the federation aer-
onautiqie internationale prescribe
that the plane land at the field from
which 1t left the earth.
The two pilots blamed their fail
ure to establish q record for q two
man plane on another phenomenon
Of the air: Excessive visibility.
"The ordinary horizon line when
flying is between seven and eight
thousand feet" they explained. After
we got above the clouds of ice we
couldn't see the ground and the hor-
izon line above must have been at
least $4,000 feet-and we didn't know
where we were."
After they had reached the pin
nacle Of their flight, johnson and
Stevens were flying In temperature
Of rs degrees below zero.
They looked below and saw what
appeared to be billows of Ice crystals,
hung in midair and resembling the
formations Of cave.
The aviators described the spec
tacle as q dazzling sight. with the
light rays broken by the fragile crys-
tails into all the colorS of the spec
trum. In order to verify this SEEM
ing mirage Of the heavens they dipped
again and again into the crystals,
and Lieut.. johnson. to make more
certain, removed a glove and stuck
his bare hand from the cockpit. It
was pierced as though by thousand
needles. Not satisfied, Capt. Stevens
exposed part of his face. and today
he bore q huge Ice blister on one
cheek as a souvenir.
Capt. Stevens made several pictures
on the flight but the results are In
doubt. Exhaust from the engine
fouled the lens several times and q
thick blanket Of snow which covered
the territory over which they flew
made his photographs Of little value
In studying the earth from the great
height.
The aviators plan another flight
within q short time. when they ex-
pect to establish record.
The same machine was used by
Lieut.. John Mcready, Lieut.. James
Doolittle, and Capt. Street in alti-
tude flights. It has 400 horsepower
Liberty motor with special super
charger. Liquid oxygen, vaporizins
into their faces was used for breath
ing past an altitude Of 10000 feet. The
men also were equipped with electri-
cally heated gloves.
A bad storm was encountered at
$1,000 feet. the pilots said.

Two Jap Vessels Face Destruc-

Rescue Is Men
cRAzED MAN LEFT BEHIND
Five-Day Fight Against Storm
Ends for Ship as Tow
Line Breaks in Gale

Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Feb. l3.-(R
The japanese steamer Nankoh
Maru hovered off the rock-bound
Aleutian Islands fighting q heavy
storm today as 1t awaited an oppor-
tunity to rescue 25 men aboard the
doomed Japanese freighter Meiyo
Maru. Not far away q third Jap
anese vessel, the Alloway. with one
crazed member Of her crew aboard,
was being driven toward destruction
on the rocks.
The Nankoh Maru reached the
Meiyo Maru late yesterday. several
hours after The latter had broadcast
weak signals that she was pounding
to pieces on the rocks Of Ugamak
Island. Because Of heavy seas the
rescue vessel was unable to assist her
but stood by, waiting for the storm
to subside.
Thirty-three members Of the crew
Of the Alloway were picked up in life
boats by the steamer Montauk yes
terday after an unsuccessful five-day
fight against the storm. The Mon
tank had been trying to tow the Allo-
way to Dutch harbor, when the tow
line broke and the disabled vessel
began heading for the rocks Of Uni
max Pass the Montak began to back
away. The helpless ship crashed into
the Montauk but the latter vessel
made q safe getaway while all ex-
cent one member of the AlloWay'S
crew took to lifeboats.
The crazed member of the Allo-
ways crew, q man named Poiey. re-
fused to leave the doomed freighter.
The Alloway's dragging anchors
caught on q rock q few yards off
shore and at last reports she was
holding there with Poiey still aboard.
The Montauk reported that the
anchors would soon give and that the
Alloway doubtless would be pounded
to pieces. The captain Of the Mon
tauk declared he would not endAnger
his own ship further in an attempt
to take Poiey from the vessel. Poiey's
companions said he had fought them
when they tried to take him into .
ufeboat.
What caused the Meiyo Maru to go
aground remained undetermined. The
Nankoh Maru's reports indicated that
there vas no hope Of saving the YES.
sci, and that the storm was 50 intense
that It could not be determined
whether she was on Ugamak or
Aiktak island.
Both the Alloway and the Meiyo
Maru were on their way to the Orient.
The Alloway was to have been
scrapped upon reaching her destina-
ton.
