JAUNT HAS EQUAL
Thrilling Experience of Naval Aviators
in Frozen North Duplication of Pre
vious Adventure.
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.
