Lindberghs Reach Haven in
Muroton Bay at End
Of Hawser
MOTOR STILL SILENT
Colonel Expects "to Have
Engine Working by
Week-end
NEMUBO, Japan, Aug. 21. UP)
The Lindbergh monoplane progressed
another notch toward Nemuro today
at the end of a tow rope.
After having been stranded since
early Wednesday because of fog and
motor trouble off Ketoi Island, the
"black hole" of the Kurile archipel
ago, Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh were
forced to accept the aid of the gov
ernment steamship Shlmushiru Maru
In getting their helpless plane to an
anchorage safer than the wild little
island 410 miles northeast of here.
Plane Reaches Bay
. Messages fold of the towing of the
plane from Ketoi to Muroton bay. 15
miles to the southwest on Shimushini
island, where Colonel Lindbergh again
went to work on the stubborn motor.
Darkness finally forced him to stop.
The motor still resisted his efforts to
put it in shape for the rest of the
flight here.
Incidentally, the colonel, who never
has said much about the perils of his
famous solo flight from New York
to Pnris in May, 1927, disclosed that
his first night afloat in his plane in
the treacherous currents off -Kotot
was "the worst I have ever experi
enced." Mrs. Lindbergh shared that exper
ience with him. They remained
throughout the night in the cramped
' quarters of the plane, a few hundred
feet from the rocky shores which
doubtless would have ground their
plane to pieces had ft got within
reach.
Thursday night, their second at
Ketoi, also furnished its quotft of

Nautilus Goes

BERLIN, Aug. 21. Of) Sir Hu
bert Wiikins, pushing into the Arctic
in the submarine- Nautilus, radioed
the newspaper Acht Uhr Blatt today
that the submarine had penetrated
the ice pack zone 20 miles, travelling
eight knots an hour through floating
ice. Navigation was very difficult,
the message said.
"Floating icefields ahead already
are becoming thicker," the message
said, "and soon we expect to strike
more compact masses.
"When we sight icefields that
seem suitable for a diving trial we
will bait and prepare to submerge. If
fhe first short trials are satisfactory
we -will proceed northward with cau
