The hazardous eleven hundred mile hop, across most treacherous and unin- habited country on the continent, had been made in exactly eleven and one half hours, Never before had the Northwest Tetrieries been spanned in a single Amp, even by the fearless North- fond fliers whose livelihood is made a flying over the lake dotted coun- ht Aklavik the Lindberghs have Sofgleted more than three thousand iles of their seven thousand mile tour from North Haven, Me, to Tokyio.

It was expected they would rest again overnight here before pressing on to Point Barrow, 530 miles to the west in Alaska FUNERAL OF OLD RESIDENT Charles 'W.
