Feat of Smith and Bronte
Said to Equal That of
Army Fliers — Welcome
Given by Hawaiians W ill
- Equal That Given Their
Predecessors Two W eeks
Ago.
HONOLULU. July 1
While Ernie Smith and Emory
Bronte were sleeping early today,
Honolulu prepared to give them
an evatlon equal to that given
Lieutenants Maitland and Hagen-
berger two weeks ago.
Aviators consider the feat of
Smith and Bronte just as great
as that of their predecessors.
When they tended at Molokai
Island at 9:35 a. m. Friday,
Hawaiian time, the “City of Oak
land” waa entirely ont of gaso
line.
A safe landing was Impossible
due to the heavy growth of
trees. The plane tangled its fusil-
age and was smashed. Smith was
scratched by the underbrush but
Bronte escaped unscratched.
"Everything was running per
fectly during the flight,” Smith
said. “Things could not have
been any better except for the
land."
The plane was In the air 25
houra and 28 minutes.
The spectacular landing was
made on a narrow atrip of land,
covered with thorny klawe bushes
extending between a coral reef
on the ocean aide and an Inland
lagoon.
Immediately behind the lagoon
are. mountains. A difference M
a few hundred feet in any dlrec-
ia tragedy.
A dramatic sidelight to the
swift and totally unheralded ar
rival from the skies on Isolated
Molokai was that the man to re
calve the two young aviators
should be Judge McCorrlston.
This Judge, of a forlorn island
In the South Pacific, and the two
young men who had overnight
crossed the ocean in a slim mono
plane, faced each other speechless
at the scene of the landing.
The men came down on a bar
ren part of the Island removed
from the leper colony.
Residents of the Island were
astounded.
They recognised
neither the plane nor fliers.
The last two hours of the City
of Oakland’s flight to Hawaii
was an unbelievable nightmare
and Emory Bronte, the plane’s
navigator, today defied anyone to
honestly criticise their pctloas la
signalling that they were in dis
tress.
"For two hours Smith pumped
gas into the motor by hand while
I tried to rig up an emergency
antenna to replace the on» that
was torn away,” Bronte told the
United Press this morning.
“But In some miraculous mea
ner, Smith revived the motor
aad we climbed,” he contlaaed.
’Bronte plainly indicated ha « •
hurt and Incensed at the state
ments that the distress signals
were unnecessary and that they
failed to handle the plane pro
perly In landing.
„
"When over Molakal Island we
had the choice of the Klawe Bosh
and its thorns and mad hoik with
a chance of burial. Wc know the
sea’s ethics.” ha said, "aad ware
aware of the consequences ef
sending an 8. 0 . 8.. aad certainly
would have kept all skips In
formed of oar condition kad wc
been able to do so.”
