while trying to find the Yukon

there was o good machine shop and
good mechanics who could repair
my damaged ship.
When I landed at Flat. Alaska,
and nv ship nosed over, bending my
propeller. I was ready to give up

That was the low point Of the flight.
I had got into that predicament by
not stopping at Nome when ducked
down through the clouds after cross
ing from Siberia. should have got
weather reports there, but was too
anxious to push on to Fairbanks
AS a result / got hopelessly lost in
storm clouds hanging on the meun-
tains and wandered all over the in

idea where was except that I was
q thousand miles from nowhere with
a ship that wouldn't fly. Things
looked pretty blue, and right there
the good luck began which saved
the fight.
At Flat Is the Fiat Mining Co.
The manager came out to me and
said that they could fix up my plane
in a few hours. I said mo use, 1t

MUSEUM LACKS FUND

Smithsonian OMciAl Would Like
to Exhibit Craft, tut Doubts
It Possible.

The Smithsonian Institution would
like to exhibit Wiley Posts famous air
plane. the Winnie Mae, which has
established two world -girdling records
and number Of Incidental records. but
there are two obstacles to the fulfilling
Of such q desire-in the first place. the
institution has no money with which
to purchase the plane. and If it Is
given there is no space in which to
exhibit IT,
- Carl w. Mitman. curator Of tech
nology, under whom the aircraft col
lection is administered by Paul Edward
CARRIER, said last night there are no
funds which could possibly be applied
to the purchase of the Winnie Mae.
"The Winnie Mae was offered to US
two years ago after It's first world night
At q price-but we had no money
then and we have no money row." Nit
fiud room for 1t. although this will
mean that still more Of our aefonauticAl
collection will have to 90 into storage"
50 cramped is the aircraft museum
for space that although 1t boasts the
first airplane to cross the ocean, the
famous NC-4, only the hull of this plane
can be shown, the rest being in storage.
the wings In Philadelphia. Many In
valuable aeronautical exhibits have been
lost to the Smithsonian during the PAST
decade because Of lack of funds and
lack Of space, and 1t u regarded q
probable that the Winnie Mae again
may fall into the class of the desired
but missing. 50 far Is the museum COL

She appeared slightly strained.

flung out.
He said he was glad that the bad
lands of Siberia were behind him and
that he felt better than he did when
he was in Edmonton with Gatty.
Posts big gain over the old record
when he took of here was due to the
fact that he and Gatty spent the night
here on the previous flight. Their
