their vigil especially along the coast.

yesterday morning, Eastern standard
time, the 80 hours elapsed.
There were low-lying clouds and
some fog over the water to Great Brit

was possible Lee and Bochkon had
flown over England without being seen.
Norwegian military authorities di-
rected that a watch be kept throughout
the night. Floodlights were burning in
airdromes near Oslo, but hope had
faded into anxiety.
Earlier, large crowds had gathered
in the hope of witnessing the termina-
ton of the first transatlantic flight to
Oslo.
Weather conditions in the immediate
vicinity of the city were good, with a
