 PLEASED, TRIP
Splendid Time Made from Ketchikan to Juneau
 McCarty Talks

The arrival yesterday afternoon of the International Airways Com pany's flying boat, the N C-115E, Boeing commercial type plane, with it's five passengers from Seattle marks what will be new area in the States to Alaska transportation After trip that was entirely with out mishap of any nature the ship glided easily to the water at 3:20 o'clock and 30 minutes later the first passengers to come by air from Seattle stepped out of the spacious cockpit ashore and all were delighted at the experience of the trip north.
 One of the first remarks made by P. T. McCarty, President of the International Airways Company, as he stepped from the ship, was that this first trip north was not made in an effort to establish a time record. He said: We were not fly ing against time. This trip is in the nature of preliminary survey made more to gather data pertain ing to the various conditions that are to be encountered by an regu- lar schedule plane operating from Seattle to Alaskan, than to land the ship here in a few hours"
 MT. McCarty told of the work done enroute north and he with pilot, E. J. A. Burke, and plane mechanic, George Lortie, gave de- tails of the venture from the hop off ct Seattle until they reached Juneau
 Hop-Of
 The start at Seattle was made last Thursday afternoon. Altitude was gained and the ship headed north in fine weather. The motor, a Pratt and Whitney Radial Wasp of 425 horsepower, functioned per- fectly and continued to do so throughout the long trip.
 Out of Seattle the first stop was made at Campbell River where the party stayed ashore over night. At Alert Bay
 The second stop was made at Alert Bay, British Columbia. Gas was taken aboard and at that place the best landing spaces were de- termined and the varying weather conditions studied and recorded. The party members busted them selves over Friday and hopped of Saturday afternoon. Weather that was fair for flying prevailed over the inside channels to Lowe Inlet where the next stop was made From there a one hop flight was made to Ketchikan where the plane landed Sunday night at 6:30 o'clock In Ketchikan the local conditions were again studied. Plane accom- modations were investigated and in other respects data pertaining to the future Seattle to Alaska flying were investigated at length by Mo Carty, pilot Burke and mechanic Lortie.

 Attitudes Varies Over the route north the plane flew at varying attitudes. Long dis tances were covered at compara- lively low levels and in other places, to meet conditions. the ship flew at several thousand feet.
 The powerful motor functioned without a miss, according to me- chanic Lortie, who at periodic in- tervals left the cockpit and in- spected the engine. U
 The navigation was accomplished without trouble at all times. The charts and other navigation aids were for air travel and especially for the coast from Seattle north. McCarty stated that in his opinion the Seattle to Alaska air service presented no great difficulties. Pi- lot Burke, who controlled the ship enroute north concurred in this op- inion.
 Operates on Routes
 The International Airways Com pany has operated planes for some time over several routes in the States. The company is one ot three that is contemplating to start operations in the Seattle to Alaska service in the near future
 The Union Air Lines, which is a separate and distinct independent company from the International, has at this time a representative in Juneau. It is stated on good authority that they are soon to have a preliminary plane in the north. A third company it is said will enter the field this season.
 How long the Boeing ship of the International AirWays Company will remain in Juneau is not known, nor did MT McCarty know when interviewed today. He said that the ships stay depended on several l circumstances.
