(Continued from jutee 1.)
lo the sea 300 miles of shore, and
I the third, containing the heroic
; Commander John Hodgeis and
I three other men. came down some
U"0 miles short of their destlna
I lion. For nine days they drifted
with their seaplane, and were pick
jed up when hope had been almost
! abandoned.
J he flight ended today exempli
fied the advance which aviation
has taken. Whereas the navy had
found II essential to place a line
of wurshlps reaching from Cantor
nlas shore lo the Ilawulian Islands,
at 200 mile Intervals, the army
tilers flew without such support,
and in a land plane that would
have floated two to three hours.
They had, however, a pneumatic
life raft.
The army fliers came in through
bright sunshine that had cleared
away the rain and gloom of the
night that shrouded their landing
place. Thousands who had waited
through the long night hud begun
to disperse when JUalthtnd and
Hegenberger came through the
haze to a triumphant landing.
New Record Set
In their flight of approximately
2400 mileH, Maltlnnd and Hegen-
burger completed the longest trans
oceanic airplane flight ever accom
plished. The landing was made on a rain
soaked field. The huge plane
taxied tho entire length of the
field. Then, circling, It came back
U) the front of the review stand,
where the highest army, navy and
civil authorities in the island were
waiting to extend congratulations
to the fliers.
The crowd, augmented by hun
dreds .hurriedly returning to the
field, went wild with joy and en
thusiasm. Guns of fortresses thun
dered in salute as the plane stop
ped before the reviewing stand.
Compass Saves Flight
Muitlnnd said that the radio bea
con on the Island of Maual failed
to function.
"Our compass," he said, "is what
got us here. If we hadn't had
that we should have been out of
luck." . . .
When nuked whether they were
tired and hungry, both fliers ad
mitted that a cold chicken sand
wlche would appeal to them. They
also told those who crowded about
to congratulate them that they
were somewhat tired.
L.."We, had some coffee and sand
wiches, but we could, not rind them,
although we looked all over tho
plane while traveling," said Malt
land. - . .. : . ,'.
Then, first congratulations over,
ho demanded: "How about a clg
arotte?" Hegenberger said: "Sure, we had
a lot of mean weather on tho trip.
Indeed we had our troubles, but we
feel great satisfaction In having
made the dash."' j . i - i
The military cuard and1 the
Rcores of police had difficulty in
'EI
clearing a path for the automobile
carrying the flight heroes. Police
lines were unable to hold back
the cheering, gesticulating, almost ,
hysterical thousands who witness -
jed the end of the flight. A suuud
of mounted police circled the plane
I protecting it from the crowd that
swept toward It.
The filers were presented to Gov
ernor Wallace It. Farrfnglon, Hear
Admiral John D. McDonald and
other dignitaries, who loaded them
with beautiful Hawaiian flowers
and lets, the native emblem of
greeting.
Ah Mattland entered the automo
bile, he rubbed his hands across
eyes that were slightly bloodshot.
Hegenberger's eyes also looked
tired and worn. Both appeared
stiff from sitting long hours in
their plane.
Hope Once Given Up.
The welcoming squadron of air
planes which went out with the
dawn to locate Maitland and Heg
enberger and escort them to

liAPID CITY, S. June 2D.
Congratulating Lieutenants Mait
land and Hegenberger on their suc
cessful flight to Honolulu, Presi
dent Coolidge in a cablegram today
told them they had added a new!
chapter to the brilliant history of
American aviation.
Learning of the landing of the
army fliers, the president immedi
ately Instructed this cable to be
sent:
Tom glad to extend to you on'1,ead f"w, minutes Inter when
behalf of our people hearty con
gratulatlons upon your fine achieve
ment. You have added a new chap
ter to the brilliant history of
American aviation of which we are
proud. Your success marks a fur
ther step In the art of flying, com
bining as It does the supreme skill
of the pilot with the wonderful ac
curacy of the navigator, and fur
nishes n striking evidence of the
efficiency of our air forces." ;
Bad Weather All the Way.
WHBELEU FIELD, Island of
Oahu, Hawaii. June 29. Here's tho
story of the flight as told by Lieu
tenants Maitland and Hegenberger:
"We made the flight by dead
reckoning with the aid of a few
celestial observations.
"The radio beacon worked for tho
first hour after we took off from
Oakland and then went off. It
came on again for a short time last
night, however.
"When we Innded we had enough

gas left for an additional 800 miles
of flying- There were more than
.10 gallons left.
"U e fought unfavorable weather
' conditions all the wuy. During the
i night we flew at an altitude of 10,-
Uoo feet In order to get above the
cloud so we could see the stars
"Duiiiv the daylight hours, vir
tually all our flying was at a
height of 200 feet) to be under the
clouds.
"We did not always know our
location, but .we didn't get lost."
The aviators said they had mo
tor trouble about midnight In the
center motor of the big plane, but
it was functioning perfectly when
the flieis landed.
Not to Fly Back
WASHINGTON, June 29. Lieu
tenants Maitland and Hegenberger
will not fly back . to the United
Slates, and the plane with which
they reached Hawaii will be left
there for Inter-inland flying, the
war department decided today.

Letters Taunt Byrd
Despite his repeated assertions
that he was In no hurry, however,
it wus generally believed that Myrd

partly because he felt that he was
losing prestige. It became known
that he was receiving In recent
days many sarcastic letters and
telegrums concerning Iho delays of
his flight and It was thought these
might h"ve carried enough weight
with him to tip the balance in fa
vor of a takeoff when the weath
er became fairly favorablo. I
Communder Byrd left without '
nny further Information concern

It has been variously rumored
that he Intends to fly hack, thai !
he will continue around the world, j
and that he will fly to several other
countries after landing at Le Bour- j
get field. J
. Byrd has repeatedly declined to
confirm these reports, stating
that any decision concerning
flights in the America must come
from Rodman Wanamaker, finan

that Commander Byrd hail wiro

quest for all stations to stand by,
while he "pumped" gas, Orover A.
AVhalen, vice president of the com
pany hacking Byrd's flight to Paris,
explained a pro-arrunged plan to
meet the emergency which has de
veloped in the difficulty with tho
America's compass.
"The Associated Press message
means that Commander Byrd is
emptying into his main gas tanks
the gasoline he carried nlong in
27 extra 5-gallon tins. This pump
ing is being done by hand, nnd tho
cans, which Commander Byrd re
ported were- interfering with the
compasses will be dumped over
board. While this pumping is go
ing .on,, there w'ould be a serious
menace; of fire if Lieutenant No
vllle .attempted to send wireless
messages. I - think It will require
an hour or more to complete this
pumping. During that time., wo
shall probably i not , receive mes
sages from iho America. However,
the plane's, automatic calI,.WTW,
will be sent out." s - . ;
