 From 1t, their unchartered air toward the town of Aklavik, up near the Arctic ocean.
 l At Aklavik, the Western Canada Airways was reported concentrat- 1 ing it's fleet of powerful, pontoon search in case the Lindberghs are forced down somewhere in the Arctic wastes whose dangers only these men of the northland know. While recognizing the flying ability of Lindbergh, pilots of the northland know the risks the col onel and his wife face and were prepared to- lend every assistance.
 The Lindberghs, with the famous husband doing most of the piloting and Mrs Lindbergh operat- ing the radio, flew Saturday from Ottawa to Moose Factory, averag- ing well over 100 miles per hour despite imperfect weather. When they were unheard from for hours dIJn fn tho rt MYc I in1karoh n not sending, some alarm was felt. here, the couple flew along the bay shore. past and over Virgin Forest. Mrs Lindbergh described it as "thrilling," and said she was "enjoying the whole trip immense ly" and that they hoped" to reach Japan.
 When they finally were brought to shore in a canoe they were giv- en a welcome such as the far northland probably never wit messed before. Sirens shrieked, bells rang and horns footed from the town and from the few ships that rode in the harbor. Bunting flew from every building. Shouts that rang out from the strong eAAA O"eNd tioi tAACihCto VCAoCu dhu re-echoed across the water and through the forests.
 Among the crowds which well comed them were trappers, trad CTS, swarthy faced Indians, trades men dressed in the rough clothes of a north, and, here and there, few women were in the crowd as iy fhfo cold dangerous north country.
 Kydd, a bachelor, left his cot tage for the exclusive use of the visiting couple. He is engineer of the department of railways and cars in charge of the Hudson Bay railway terminals, and has one of the finest homes in the town. The Lindberghs retired early.
 World Flyers in Haste. khabarovsk. Siberia. Aug g. (UP)-Two American world fly CTS, hurrying across Siberia in a race for new record. were be- lieved speeding over the desolate eastern stretches of North Asia to- day toward Khabarovsk.
 The flyers. Clyde F.. Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, Jr, left Chita, 1900 miles left here yesterday, with khabarovsk as their next scheduled stop.
 The change In their plans was a. surprise. They previously had annouced they intended to try to fly directly to Nome, Alaska in their long-range monoplane. The airport officials arranged for their reception here, and plans for quick overhauling of the plane and rafueling were completed. It was believed Pangborn and Hern- don had a fighting chance for a record.
 The flyers arrived at Chita at p. m. 6 a. m. EST), after a flight from Omsk, where they left late Saturday. They were far behind the record they sought to break, but had picked up little time and insisted they were within striking distance of their goal.
 The 27-hour delay Wiley Post and Harold Gatty encountered here put Pangborn and Herndon in favorable position-the best, in fact they have yet achieved on the flight.
 They both refused to be pessi- mistic. and declared they were still definitely in the race. Motor and ship and both boys okay." message they sent to their New York headquarters said. will bring in new record or bust. Inform families."
 The flight to Nome will be the most perilous of the entire voy- age. much of it will be over sea and wildly desolate land.
 From Alaska they would face flight of mEe than 5000 miles to New York.a hazardous and dar- ing dash in itself across North America. ! The Americans had covered r. 300 miles on arrival at Chita. on a world flight of almost 15.000 miles. They had been gone from New York for 120 hours. Post and Gatty had been gone from New York only 98 hours when they landed at Blagoveschensk. 600 miles further along the roue. Post and Gatty's long stop at Khab- Dn tr
