 FACED DEATH;
 EXPECTED II
Two Months Old Message Is Made Public from
 Lonely Outpost

ANTARCTICA, Little America Aug. l7.-Admiral Richard E. Byrd had prepared himself for a lonely death on his recent lost" exper- fence to the remainder of his ex- petition force and from which he was rescued after a third attempt to reach him in his distant out post.
 Yet, with death facing him, Byrd sent no appeal for aid to the out side world.
 This was learned two months la ter when a message from his ad- vance weather base, where Byrd spent nearly five months isolation told how he resigned himself to death. He left a note for the re- lief party which he feared would arrive too late"
 Radio reports from the rescue party said Admiral Byrd became Ill last June from fumes from his oil stove and he thought the end was near.

Army Aircraft Arrive Late Yesterday Afternoon

PERFECT LANDING
 MADE AT AIRPORT
Squadron Takes Of at II O'Clock This Forenoon
 Bound for Seattle

The Alaska flight squadron, after an overnight stop, took off at II o'clock this forenoon from Juneau's Airport on . di- rect flight to Seattle which is expected to be reached within five CT five and one-half hours. Departure was delayed on ac- count. of reports of foggy wealth. CT falling to clear over the Seattle area.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-08-17

Ten 7-ton Martin bombing planes, the latest thing in United States Army Air Corps fighting air equip ment in wartime, arrived at the Juneau airfield from Fairbanks at 5.35 o'clock last night after flight from the interior of three hours and 50 minutes.
 The planes landed on the field without incident, stopping within 90 feet and then taxieds into posi- tion for the receiving of gasoline and oil for the flight to Seattle. direct from Juneau.
 Hundreds viewed the planes in the sky, their circling over the field and then their graceful land- ing. For about one mile, the Gla- cier highway was a parking place for automobiles. Nearly all who went out for the landing of the greatest and only Army airplane squadron ever to come to Juneau massed around the planes to get a "close up" of the wonderful machines.
 Many Visitors
 Hundreds more went out during the evening to make their inspec- tion of the squadron of Uncle Sam's fighting air force and came away loud in praise of the flying equipment, and periodically proud.
 Two advance planes, including one piloted by Capt. H. M. Mo- Clelland, took off from the Fair banks airport at l:25 o'clock, ar irving at o'clock. The others left Fairbanks at 1:45 o'clock, and landed on the Juneau field at 5:35 o'clock, an elapsed flying time Of three hours and 50 minutes.
 Fast Travelling
 The planes averaged about I8O miles per hour over the distance of $40 miles which they traversed in that time.
 No photographing or mapping of any sort was done on the way down. None was really on th1 program in the first place, and the visibility was too low in any case. Aerial photography, as done by the Army Air Corps for mapping purposes, is accomplished at an altitude of 16,0O0 feet. and unless the weather is perfectly clear, the photographs are not distinct enough to be of any value.
 Set Record
 Nearly perfect conditions for mapping were encountered at Fairbanks, according to officers of the expedition. While based at that city, the entire project of photographing the Fairbanks-An- chorage district was completed, covering a total of 14,000 square miles. Of that area. 5000 square miles were photographed in a sim gle day, a record for that type of work.
 On that day five planes were used. each of them equipped with one of the standard 5-lense map ping cameras.
 Capt. Ross c. Hoyt and Capt. E. D. Bcbzien, advance flyers of the Corps, remained at Fairbanks after the air armeda left. They are to stay in Fairbanks until the flight reaches Seattle. when they will return overland to the East. following the same route traversed tn going to Fairbanks

Gets Four Geese With
One Shell 2 Years Old

Shakopee.-There have been many
yarns about fishermen getting as
many as three fish on single i'm
provised hook, but tale that comes
out of Shakopee beats them all. John
Svoboda watched a flock of geese
plop down in his corn field near sun
down recently. Running for his gun,
he found out he was out of shells. A
neighbor had only one shell, two years
old. Undismayed, John returned to
his farm, only to find that the sun
had set. A law abiding citizen, he
waited until morning, but at the
streak Of dawn he was sighting down
his barrel, picking out the choicest of
the birds. AS the sun peered over the
horizon, John drew a final bead and
fired. When the smoke cleared and
the last feather f1oated to the earth
the hunter scanned the ground and
found four dead geese, the limit set
by law, all downed with one shell two
years old!
