POINT BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 8
(AP)' Near the roof of the world,
within sight of the perpetual polar
tco cap. Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh plotted their route today
for the remainder of their vacation
trip to the orient.
Welcomed by a handful of whites
and several hundred esklmos. they
brought their low-wing monoplane
down on a lead of open water In Ber
ing Sea at 2 a. m.. today (P.S.T.) af
ter a 636-mile flight from Aklavlk.
N. W. T made in six hours and 30
minutes.
Mrs. Lindbergh, pronounced an
"expert" by northern radio operators,
was in almost constant communica
tion with the radio stations here and
at Aklavlk during the flight. .
Colonel Lindbergh was undecided
as to when they would continue the
flight or where they would refuel.
There was a possibility he would go
on to Nome, 623 miles away, before
refueling. '
The coast guard cutter Northland,
carrying fuel supplies for the plane
and food for Point Barrow, has' been
locked out by the ice pack and was
believed still to be off Icy Cape. 100
miles away to the southwest.
When the Lindberghs leave Nome
they will say good bye to the North
American continent. Their next stop
will be Karaglnsk. Siberia, 1007 miles
from Nome. .It will be one of the
most 'dangerous hops of the flight,
as fog and wind ore usually found
prevailing.
I don't care if I ever get up or
ever eat again." Colonel Lindbergh
said before he and Mrs. Lindbergh
retired In quarters prepared for them
In the Presbyterian manse of Dr. and
Mrs. Henry Qrlest.
The flying vacationers were mucn
Interested In the ice on the Arctic
ocean, which Is still solid enough here
for dog teams to travel over.
White residents ot Barrow Were de
lighted with the Lindberghs and
described the dinner after their ar
rival as a "real Alaska family gath
ering." The menu consisted -of roast
reindeer, wild geese, canned vegetabts,
lc cream and cake. The village has
been entirely out of coffee, potatoes,
eggs and tobacco for several weeks.
