 Lindberghs' Plans
 The Lindys announced on the day of their arrival here that they would remain over Wednesday and leave Thursday morning on the re mainder of their flight, if weather permitted. Their course was stat ed to be over the northern and west egn tip of St. Lawrence Island to Cape Naverin, Siberia where it was changed to take them down the kamchatka Peninsula to Karagin Island. Their gas supplies are situated on the southern and west ern end of the Island. From Kara gin Island they will proceed to Petropaylovsk and from there to Tokyo. When he left Nome Fri day he had aboard approximately full capacity load of gas.
 From Barrow to Nome
 Their flight down the northwest ern coast of Alaska from Barrow to Nome was made with absolute confidence and perfect performance.
 Weather held the Lindberghs at Barrow Monday of this week un- til late in the afternoon when they took off for Nome. At this season of the year in the Arctic, and Boring Sea regions, fog and stormy weather roll up quickly and dissolve as rapidly.
 Enroute from Barrow the Lind berghs said:
 We took off from Barrow about in the afternoon, and as we gained altitude the ice pack around could be seen stretching for more than seventy five miles, packed sol idly together. Knowing the cut te" Northland to be at Vain wright we proceeded down the coast from Barrow and passed ov er the Patterson and Baychimo about forty or fifty miles from Barrow and then the Northland about miles of Wainwright. Due to sea being rough and the boats locked in apparently by the ice we did not stop but kept on at about one hundred miles an hour

We landed opposite Shishmaref land remained in the plane all night leaving there at z am. Tuesday morning, when we took of for Nome.
 We were in communication | most of the time down from Bar row and the radio proved to be a very valuable and necessary con- panion.''
 Upon reaching Nome the Lind bershs heard of how anxiously news was awaited by the outside world All the wireless operators in the far north all state that Mrs. Lind bergh is a good ham" in the yer nacular of telegraphy. All of her signals were received clear and nice and the many listeners state she has a smooth hand for sending and is adept at receiving.
 Coming into Nome the Lock heed Sirius plane circled over Nome several times and then proceeded to a hydroplane landing in Nome river which he circled for several minutes but then decided to go on down the coast to Safety lagoon. Upon interviewing the Lindberghs when they arrived in Nome they stated that the sea was too rough Il front of Nome and after looking at Nome river decided there was not enough room for them to take of with a heavy load of gasoline even though they could have Iand- ed, so decided it was best and would save trouble, to go to Safe ty.
