A wooden plane was chosen by f 'nptnin Wilkins for. his latest ijucst because he believes it will be lcs-s affected by ice. and hence more lliaiiaKeable than the all-metal ship he has used in the past. The plane is a trim fast crart with bullet shaped ftislaKe. Its cruising speed is about 115 miles an hour and its cruising range 3. ;;ii miles. It was built by the Lockheed Aircraft corporation. Traveling by steamer from San IV dro to Seward.
