Now York, Jan. 23.-Aviation's thrilling history filled with adventur ous Journeys in balloon and airplane, already contains a story paralleling the one created by the flight Into the frozen fastnesses of northern Canada which has focused the news-hungry readers of the world on the three Am erican lieutenants who recently com pleted it. In 1910 two New York airmen, Alan R. Hanymley and Augustus Post, were lost among the untroddon wilderness of Canada for seven days after travel ing nearly 1,200 miles through the air from St. Luis in the Balloon Ameri can U1. They floated northeastward for two days and two nights, crossing over the Great Lakes and beyond the out posts of which are few and far be t.ween in the northland. Despairing of finding a suitable landing place, they brought their gas bag down into dense trees, ending a trLp that won the Gordon Bennett trophy and sot a record for distance, and beginning a trai) over unknown land that dwarf ed I plublic interest their thrilling ex periences in the air. Extricating themselves from the limbs of trees en tagled in thelr basket, IPost an' Hiown ley traiped along a stream and later Aroiunad the hem of a lake, as the woods were Inpene trable and lraclless. For rour (lays and four nights tihey puslied souith - ward through snowstorms, rain and vol1 wind:;. and with little to eat Ilaw !(.Ny wrencheli d his 1knev and the pair st opiped to rest at the first restfuli place-ana old cave. ''lhore they Prayed, chlianged con tidevn.e; to be carried back by which ov one lived, if either failed to get back hone, amd then took a fresh start. 'I' ne:xt day they came upon a shovel the first sign or civliz.ation they had encountered and a few yards further.a tent. They s.pent the night in this tent and the next morning going (Iown to the side of a lake they pierced the air 'with yells of greetings. From across tho water came a reply, and then two tralppers in a canoe. The trappers took the airmen down a river In can oes for two days until they reached Chioutine, a settlement, from where they communicated with the world they had left, and .b. gan their trip back to New York. They had left St. Louis October 17 and the first word came from them October 26. A balloon trip that ended above the North Sea, was made by Captain Von Schacek during the 1909 Gordon, Ben nett race, which started from Berlin. A passing steamer spied the guidle rope . sAshing through the water, and d the balloon back to the coast of Norway with the rope secured to the stern of he ship and the balloon floating overaend. ,leing lest to the world was not a newv experience to Lieutenant Walter Hnton, one of the three lieutenants who recently piloted the A5598 rrom Rockaway Air Station -Into Canada. lie was a pilot on the NC-4 the famuous naval seaplane which made the first trans-Atlantic air voyage, 'and was in the cockpit of that plane 'when it was lost out in the Gulf of Mexico in De cemlber 1919. On that occasion the NC-i left Gal veston, Tex., early in the morning on an intended ion-stop flight to Mobile, Ala. Throughout the dlay and the night and plart of the following day the famous seaplane was unheard of. Th'le government was mnaking arrange ments to send an armada of sea planes and hoats into the gulf to look for the missqing craft, wvhen a radio messa-ge from it was pickedl up in New Orleans. Tlhe NC-4 reported it had lieen forced to come don n by low hanging clouds off the southeastern coast of Louisiana. WVhen on the water the wireless on the plane was not power ful enough to carry many mIles and comnmunica tion was impossible until the craft took to the air again the fol lowing afternoon.
