many could never set foot in the
Americasl" We thanked him.
Three Expeditions Met.
There is one final point that
should be mentioned here for those
who follow this expendition's prog
ress. Since arriving at Mexicos
southern boundary, three separate
expeditions have been encountered
coming from South America toward
the United States, trying to nego-
tiate the tough unbuilt stretches
of the Pan-American highway. The
tropics seem full of expeditioners.
The first of these was a chap
from Ecuador. He drove a 1929 car,
stripped completely to the chassis,
with only a tool kit and a suitcase
as equipment. One man could easily
lift any one wheel of his car off the
ground. He had shipped around
Northern Colombia and Southern
Costa Rica, and said he had even
saken his car apart and carried II
1870 kilometers on the backs of In
dians to get through. He said
we'd never make the Canal.
No. 2 outfit was from Buenos
Aires-two young fellows also in
puddle Jumper" They had special
springs which raised their motor and
body high above the ground. The
whole car weighed less than 1000
pounds. They shook their heads
when we said we were going to try
Costa Rica and Panama They had
shipped these stretches and said
they we're absolutely impossible
These men intended, however, to
cover our route toward the north,
though they were frankly skep-
tical of Southern Mexico.
They Say 1t Can't Be Done.
The third expedition is here in
Managua now. Also from Buenos
Aires, they are the four Maillo
brothers. They drive a 1885 car
weighing about half as much as
ours. Two of the brothers have
been hospitalized in Costa Rica and
were expected in by plane today
to join the expedition in its try
for the country north. After listen
ing to our report they don't think
they'll even try Southern Mexico
but ship from Tapachula to Vera
cruz by railroad. They, too, say
it is absolutely impossible for any
car, of any kind. to get through

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (Via Air
maiD - This expedition expected
Nicaragua to be tough. To say we're
finding what we expected is some
thing of an understatement. Mica
ragua is bad.
Meredith Nicholson, then Ameri-
can Minister to Nicaragua, said in
his letter to us at Detroit last Octo-
Der, that to his knowledge no auto
mobile had ever been able to drive
from one boundary of Nicaragua to
the other. He said that last year,
a fully prepared expedition, which
had traVerSed the Sahara three
times and had gone from end to end
of Africa, was compelled to abandon
the attempt after progressing from
the Northern Nicaraguan line to the
town of Chinandega, Hospitaliza-
q ton was also necessary. He Sug-
gested that we do not try to cross
Honduras, Nicaragua, or Costa Rlca
at all, but ship from San Salvador
to some port in Panama. We appre-
ciated Mr.. Nicholson's information
and advice. We appreciate 1t even
more, now.
But we have come through Hon
duraS, all the way. We have reached
and passed the town of Chinandega.
We are now in Managua with road
from here to within 40 miles of the
southern boundary of Nicaragua.
We sympathize with the Sahara
expedition of 1899" and understand
something of their difficulties. But
tomorrow we're still pushing south.
President Promises Help.
Also, the President of Nicaragua,
Oral AnaStacio Somoza, received US
cordially on our arrival, compl-
mented us on being first ever to drive
completely from the United States
to Managua, and said, should we get
into difficulties below here, to send
him an sos. He would see that
help reached us immediately"
At Choluteca, Honduras, where
this present bad stretch of bull-cart
trails began, the United States mas
financed the building of fine steel
bridge across the Choluteca River,
as an incentive to Honduras author
tiles to continue work on the Pan
American highway. To come sud-
denly out of the tropic brush upon
a modern steel bridge, with only bull
cart trails leading up to it, and worse
bull-cart trails leading away from 1t,
is one of the unbelievable expert
ences of the Pan-American highway
route, The bridge seems more like
a miracle.
We crossed the Nicaraguan border
at a hacienda called Palo Grande
and from there to Chinandega fol-
lowed the most difficult sort of bull
cart trails cut straight into the soft
ground Wheel ruts, sometimes z
feet deep, with centers almost as
high, required hours of work with
bar, shovel and pick to get through.
Our hands were blistered badly. The
Nicaraguan sln is scorching hot,
and in the middle of the day work
is most difficult Natives, and local
people long accustomed to troplc
heat, never work in midday hours.
They say nobody can stand 1t Tor
long. That for long" is our hope,
We expect to get through Central
American before too long" is
reached. But we can't travel at
night over such country, and day
light hours are much too short Tor
progress when we must build road
as we go. We must take" the mid
day sun.
Ruts Become Cuts.
This Pacific side of Nicaragua is
generally fiat country and there
seems to be no bottom to the soil.
When hills do appear, however, carts
dig deeper than on the level. Many

b., Frequently the fiiers get rough

authorities are good at knowing
where mines are likely to be laid.
Near the coasts, in harbors and
waterways, especially. they have
fitted all kinds of craft with anti
aircraft. They have also put many
fighter aircraft in these areas.
The problem is accentuated for
the German glnners- and fighters
when, as sometimes happens. an
accompanying formation of air.
craft claims their attention while
the mine-layers get on with their
work.
Frequent change in tactics and
machines is made 10 keep the

The extraordinary thing is that
II Is rare for an aircraft TO be
lost on these expeditions.
Yet. without counting the huge
mileage covered by the mine-lay-
erS of the coastal command, or

ministry recently announced that
those OF the bomber command
alone had flown much more than
a million miles.

That is a typical report on one
of the most hazardous yet most
matter-of-fact branches of the
work of the Raj. about which
least has been written-mine-lay-
ing by air.
There is seldom the thrill of
fighter combat or bomber expedi-

headlines.
Yet, night after night-most
mines are laid during darkness
the crews got out. fair weather

They meet plenty of anti-air-
craft fire from ships or shore
d batteries. but all that is taken
for granted. Futile attacks by
enemy fighters usually merit no
more comment than an explana-
ton to the armament officer as to
why ammunition is short.
