There Is only one more major

next week, and that is to be tak

floats twhich have replaced Its
wheels 'fully tested; its compass
swung, its navigation . Instru
ments checked and its radio In
stalled. But still the powerful radio
must prove beyond all doubt that
It can reach out from the vast
wild places of the north and whis
per to a waiting world that all
is well with the nation's aero
nautical idol and his wife.
Engineers have tested the ra
dio and found it good, but they
have a ! technical expertness J it
would be foolish to expect in any
one who has only recently taken
up radio. Now it must be tested
by the fingers of the one who
will use It in actual flight across

ROBINSON RELATES
Meets Strange Folk While
On World Circuit In
32-Foot Ketch
VILLEFRANCHE, France. July
23 (AP) Pirates, head hunters
and a sultan were among the
hosts of William Albert Robinson
of Boston, on a world tour In his
3 2-foot ketch, Svaap, which sailed
Into Vlllefranche harbor today.
His grandmother, Mrs. Ida
Knlffler of Milwaukee was wait
ing for him with a basket of
sandwiches when he arrived at
4:22 p.m., Just 12 minutes behind
his schedule, after having left New
London, Conn., in June, 1928."
"Albert," his grandmother said,
"I've never known you to be so
late. Where hare yon been?"
And this, while on the way to a
bath, was the story Robinson told:
Fifteen days out from India, the
mariner landed at Makalla at the
end of the Mohammedan feast of
Ramadan. There he saw charg
ing mobs with silver scimitars be
ing stopped by the Sultan's guards
Just before death blows were
about to be struck.
The sultan gave the Boston boy
150 rupees "in order to cement
cordial relations with the United
States." ' .
Robinson twice was captured by
pirates In Arabian ports.
He sailed up the Seplk river in
New Guinea 300 miles In order
to see canlbals and friendly tribes
of headhunters who were forced
to get a head a day in order to
retail their tribal status.
