from the estimated coastline and pos
sible source of fresh food supply. But,
even so, we should be able to make
the journey in five weeks by averaging
IL miles a day. Excepting this part
of the journey, we will be less than
$50 miles from the edge of the land
fast ice and the possible source Of
food.
Wear Light, Warm Clothes.
In the plane wear light but warm
clothing, suit Of camel-hair under
wear, two pairs Of socks, woolen
breeches, squirrel skin parka, Indian
moccasins covered with canvas, topped
rubber soled boots. I carry a reindeer
skin parka handy in case I need 1t,
also chamois face mask and a pair
Of dogskin mitts, but I expect a pair
Of silk gloves covered by wooden nit
tens will keep my hands warm.
Hollick- kenyon is dressed in SINH
lar manner except he wears reindeer
skin parka over woolen shirt.
AS mascots I carry an OK shoe from
the trail of 1849, which I picked up IN
Death Valley, a st. Christopher medal
and a Mickey Mouse given to me by
my wife.
The flags shall have with me are
the Stars and Stripes and flags of the
National Geographic Society, Yale,
New York Athletic Club, a small
American flag from the Hill School,
Pottstown, Pa, which attended, and
the flag Of the Quiet Birdmen.
My revolver, which I might need to
kill seals when We arrive at the Bay Of
Whales, is carried in the holster used
by the famous Marshal Wyatt carp,
who was my boyhood hero, and wear
one Of my most treasured possessions,
which is gold Rng worn by Wyatt
carp throughout the days when he was
SO successfully conspicuous in helping
to pioneer the West.
Our spare gear packs include extra
clothes and such things as soap, comb,
toothbrushes and razors, which our
civilization seems to consider essen
tial.
Leaves Data on Plans.
To provide for emergency. have
left the following instructions on
board our supply ship, the motorship
Wyatt carp:
ITO whom it may concern-It is
my intention to fly from Dundee Is
land to the Bay Of Whales, Ross Sea,
on q more or less great circle course.
II a forced landing from which no
communication by wireless and no
further progress by our own plane can
be made before reaching latitude
$3.50. would expect to follow the
Larsen Ice Barrier to Robinson Is
land and Robertson Island, then fol-
low through Crown Prince Gustav
Channel and Breach Hope Bay as
rendezvous, possibly looking for de-
west corner of Robinson Island and
on the northeast corner Of Robertson
Island and Cape Longing.
IF forced landing Is made after
passing latitude $3.50 and before
reaching latitude 72, would make
for Cape Pierre Baudin, Marguerite
Bay, passing through Bourgios and
Lalleman Fjords. then along Matha
Bay, Cape Evensen and make Pitt
Island the rendezvous, leaving notes
on Cape Pierre Baudin and the north
west tip Of the cape opposite Baird
Island and Cape Evensen.
IF by chance the route to Pitt
Island is impossible on foot, should
expect to make the southwest corner
of Beascochea Bay the rendezvous. II
forced landing is made between lati-
tudes 70 and IS, should expect to
make for Martha Charcot Island and
remain there until relieved, looking
for a depot on the southeast corner
of Charcot Island. II forced land
ing Is made between latitudes IS and
80, would turn north to the edge Of
Landfast Ice and then eastward to
Monique Charcot Island, expecting to
remain there until relieved. looking for
depot on the southwest corner Of
the Charcot Island.
Another Alternative Course.
"If q forced landing Is made be-
tween latitudes 80 and 81 and before
reaching longitude 1870. would make
for Mount Mabelle Sidley to leave a
message and look for depot and
possibly remain there with the ex-
pectation Of being relieved. If, how
ever, there is no food obtainable at
Mount Mabelle Sidley and we have
food sufficient to enable us to reach
Mount Grace Mckinley. might de-
eide to leave a note at Mount Msbelle
Sidley and proceed to Mount Grace
Mckinley. If q forced landing is
made after passing longitude 130
would make for Little America, fol-
lowing the course laid down for the
airplane.
"At Little America last year, through
the courtesy Of Admiral Byrd, laid
down 500 gallons Of gasoline and some
lubricating oil. With these supplies
there are 20 or 30 days Of food rations
I have no information from Admiral
Byrd as to the amount or disposition
of his supplies, or If any were left at
Little America, and am not much
concerned with that, for once we are
at the Bay of Whales we will find
many seals and penguins and, with
our own supplies, We will be able to
live until the latter part of January, or
later, if the Wyatt carp should be
delayed in reaching U.s."
