cracking up tholr whip us thuy got
nearer New York, thuy mild hero
lato yewtordny when they arrived
from Khabarovsk, Siberia, on their
record-breaking fllgM u round the
world.
"We experienced every kind ot
weather imaginable coming to
Solomon from Khaliarovfik,1' Pout
wild as he nnd Gatty climbed from
their ship, the Winnie Mug, at the
little mining village of gold rush
day, 86 miles from Nome.
"I flew for three hour nnd n
half Sunday night with the weath
er bo thick that I didn't see more
than the glasu on the cockpit win
down at any time," Pout declared
between mouthfuls of fried chick
en as he watched mechanics re
fueling the ship.
Preferred Sea Death
"I thought then, well, I would
u damn sight rather croak flying
across the Bering; sea than crack
the ship down south after we're
almoHt home. We managed finally
to see enough light to guide the
ship safely here but all the way
u cross the Bering Bca we saw miles
and miles ot ice floes moving
Hteadily northward Into the straits.
The cold and haze prevented us
from going to a high altitude. We
tried It once and almost froze to
death.
"For the lost two hundred miles
Into Solomon we flew above clouds
and did not drop beneuth them
until within about ten miles of
Solomon."
Hatty Fine Navlgntor
Post paid high tribute to Gatty
as a navigator and gave his com
panion much credit for the success
of the flight so far. Gatty in turn
said Post was the master of the
flight and "somo flier."
"I thought we were gone once,"
Gutty said, "but I know now when
Wiley is at the stick we're going
to pull through."
Although the filers were on a
nerve strain when they landed
after their 2400-mHe bop In 16
hours und 17 minutes, both were
In excellent spirits and seem cor
tain they would have very little
difficulty for the remainder of the
trip.
"We ire glad to put our feet on

for us, but Ht's colder-than a son-

Rusfdaiis Good Hoste
The fliers said the Russians
were wonderful to them and "did
everything possible under the sun
for us. They tried to speed ui
along as fast as we could go, hop
ing we would break all records to
Hmlthereens."
Except for having to fight
weather most of the way across
Siberia, the airmen said they had
little trouble although their plane
"bogged to her belly" when they
set her down on a muddy field at
Blagoveshchensk.
"We finally managed to pull her
out with the assistance of a .whole
regiment of soldiers."
Post and Gatty told their story
as they sat near their plane on the
field at Solomon, eating other food
than that which had been pre
pared for them In Nome. They
watched mechanics refuel and
check over the entire ship before
they climbed In for the start to
Fairbanks.
Like Fried Chicken
"This 1b the first we have eaten
of any good food since we left
Moscow," Post said between
mouthfuls. "We ate only a few
mouthfuls of black bread each day
and drank some strong tea. This
fried chicken is fine. I'm as hun
gry and dry as a fish. Say, this
coffee is the best I've had to drink
a week." '
As the airmen prepared to start
from Solomon for Fairbanks the
plane wheels mired In the sand
and the plane nosed over ontothe
propeller. The propeller was bent
at both ends but after five minutes
work with a hammer and piece of
Iron, Post pronounced It okeh
and climbed aboard.
Gatty was badly shaken up when
struck by the propeller but not
seriously Injured. The navigator
was leaning over the propeller
priming the engine when the heat
of the engine fired a few cylinders,
bringing the propeller around and
striking him over the heart.
