WILKINS PREPARES
TO HUNT FLYERS
Makes Ready Arctic Base
for Winter Search for
Polar Birdmen.
BY SIR HUBERT WILKINS.
~ Radio to The Star.

1y Radio to The Star.
AKLAVIK, Northwest Territory,
Dec. 3.-Preparations for our winter
search for Pilot Levaneffsky and his
comrades, lost in a flight from Soviet
Russia to the United States, are about
complete. We have been working furi-
ously during daylight hours, which
last from 10 am. to 3 pm.
With the help of our entire crew, We
erected our radio in three days. 1t Is
situated on ice in midriver. A high
ratio compass mast, two masts for
transmission and two 8-foot tents
comprise our unit. Tonight We are
transmitting under real Arctic con-
ditions. Soft snow, driven by a north
wind, Sits into the tent. Snow banks
are high all around. Tools and equip
ment are scattered in convenient un-
tidiness. In the engine tent, 10 yards
away, our engine putters are disturbing
the otherwise murky quietness of the
Arctic night.
Our snow-covered plane rests beside
the river bank, above which veiled
mystic lights from the frosted VIM
dows Of the police barracks and Hud-
son Bay stores family show. We made
two trial flights so far. The first, start
ing last Friday in temperature of 20
below zero with a moderate wind, was
rather an ordeal. The engine oil froze
as we carried it from the stores. One
engine baked. I froze both cheeks
while removing the starting handle in
the full blast of the propellors.
We finally got off, but had difficulty
In finding Tukto Yaktuk, 80 miles
from here. because of a ground haze.
After circling half hour, we located
q trading post and landed. We stayed
there for the night, and next morning
flew on to Baillie Island, starting with
out difficulty this time. We lunched at
Baillie and returned to Aklavik with
out incident.
In few days we will have things
In order here and then probably will
fly to Barrow before preparing our
machine for our first moonlight flight
over the Arctic Ocean. If the weather
Is good, our first search flight should
take place about December l6.

Teacher Edna Ferber Takes Bow
 For Author Namesake

The name of Edna Ferber implies, in the literary world, the mastery of writing and the author of score of so-called top-flight novels since 1911. To the Seattle newspaper photographers, the name of Edna Ferber meant flock of page one photographs showing the famous author as she was about to leave for Alaska on the Northwestern.
 But to Miss Edna Ferber of Ab- erdeen, s. D., it indicated case of mistaken identity.
 For the Miss Ferber who spent several hours in Juneau while the Northwestern, was in port last night and early today is a South Dakota school teacher on vacation in Al aska. The author Edna Ferber re- sides in New York City.
 The flashing bulbs of the Seattle photographers, however, did not light the first path of the teacher Miss Ferber to fleeting fame. Many times before she has been mistaken for her famous namesake. AS Shakespeare once said, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Or Sump'n!

The mystery or the missing fleet" has been solved!
 As unobtrusively as bashful mai den, the United States Coast Guard cutter Haida tied up at the Gov ernment docks yesterday at 6 o. clock-thus ending 78-hour pun ishment' cruise.
 It seems that come of the boys had been whooping it up in the Robert Service style last Thursday night, and Captain John Trebes de- cided to 'larn" them.
 Friday morning just before noon he issued orders to shove off-and since that time the cutter has been anchoring hither and yon around the bays.
 The exact destination Of the Hai- da during the period of "cruisin has been just around" according to members of the crew. Sunday after the exile in just around' the Haida got back to the Aux Bay civ ilization. Today she was back tc hum"
 Monday night the crew was agair in evidence around town, but the strongest drink, so it is understood was a devilish sarsaparnla. | How times do change!

BUT HERE IS WHAT
 THE CAPTAIN SAYS

Capt. John Trebes, skipper of the Haida, hearing of statements of members of the crew that the cruise of the coast guard cutter had been disciplinary measure" laughed heartily today.
 More blooming rumors spring up in these Alaskan towns. The truth of the matter is that we received orders from Seattle to inspects mo- torships in southeast Alaska. We cruised around in Funter Bay, Hoon- ah Bay, Taku and Aux Bay. It was merely Q routine navigation inspec- ton tour. After all, a coast guard cutter doesn't run like a scheduled steamer. We're more elastic and proceed on orders from Seattle. We had been in port for a week and headquarters instructed us to pro- ceed on our inspection
 The Haida will refuel tomorrow and leave Thursday at am. fol Chilkoot Barracks, where troop of soldiers and three army trucks vii be transported to Valdez.
