The Kuril plane, piloted by Floyd Hennett und liernt Ltalchen, which lt'fl Detroit this morning to fly to tho relief of the Itrans-Atlanlic monoplano Bremen, at Greenly isl luiul. arrived here at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon. LAKK STH. AGNES, Que., Apr, 20. tlly Canadian Press Corre spondent.) The German mono plane Kremen will be flown from New York to Germany, making tho first round trip flight over the At lantic ocean, Captain Koehl told the Canadian Press corespondent before the lattor's departure from Greenly lslund for Murray ' llay. The correspondent arrived here this morning. Captain Kohl told the Canadian Press correspondent that It would take six or Beven days after the receipt of sparo parts before the Hrenien could be put In shape to leave Greenly Island. Tho plane on which the Canadian Press reporter returned from the Island brought out tho first news reel pictures to be made of the damaged plane Bince It landed after, its ocean flight a week ago today. (By Jamoa Stanton, Canadian Press Correspondent) ( IRAKIS STB AGNES, Murray Ray, Quebec, April 20. (Cana dian Press) Tho German-Irish crew of the trans-Atlantic mono plane Bremen hope to fly theli plane back to Germany after It is repaired, Captain Hermann Koehl told the first regular . reporter o le&ch Greenly Inland. ' This reporter, who flew to the Island with the first news reel camera man to make the Journey last Wednesday, returned here to day. "As soon as our machine Is re paired," Captain Koehl told the rpeorter, "wo will fly to New Vork, as first Intended. En route we shall very likely call at Mur ray bay and at Montreal. After that we hope to he able to ar range ar flight from New York to our home land." The reporter, James Stanton ot the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, who was loaned to the Canadian Press for the assignment, and Kay Fernsstrom, of New York, Para mount Nows and Associated Press camera man, landed in a Cana dian Airways plane piloted by Ro meo Vachon on the Ice close to Greenly Island. Captain Koehl and Baron Ehrenfrled von Huenefeld were delighted to see them and walked down to tho short to greet them. They posed for pictures, which were rushed to New York by air plane today, and talletd freely with the reporter. The Germans were ln excellent health and high spirits. Captain. Koehl received a slight cut on the forehead at the bump of the Bre-': men's landing on tho Island's res ervoir, but the wound was of no moment and the baron escaped injury entirely, as did their Irish companion, Major James Fltz maurlce, "It did not even force my monocle out of its place," the baron boasted with evident pride In his careful English, ' The Germans were busily en gaged ln doing what they could to repair their plane, damaged in the landing, and wero happy In being close to the ship that had I brought them safely on the tlrst western airplane flight across the north Atlantic. The bleakness of their ice-bound Island prison seemed entirely un able to quench their buoyant spirits. Huron von Huenefeld sold that tho hazardous flight which so nearly ended In disaster would hnve been worth while If for no othor reason than that they might experience the kindness and hos pitality of tholr Island hosts. Tho Germans wero making their homo with Lighthouse Keeper Le Tcmplcr and his large family. Captain Koehl has become a great favorite with the children of tho . Island and they .(lock around him as he fondles the dogs they bring to show him. The reporter and cameraman were lnvltedfo lunch tn the llgh house with the fliers and while everyone ate heartily the baron asked the reporter to mention es pecially In his dispatches that the lighthouse keeper In such a bleak spot should get better food. Salt pork and corned beef, he said, was not enough for a family living n such weather conditions. The luncheon was something ot an International affair, there be ing ut the table two Germans, a Swede, an Kngllhms.n and threa (ConUnuod oa Pagt IU).
