...officers and men. Also aboard was gloom, for behind them in Newport were their wives and many a sweetheart. Forty miles to Long Island's tip slowly steamed the fleet, to drop anchor in Fort Pond Bay, sheltered by the curve of Montauk Point, where dimly through fog and rain could be seen the bulk of the Montauk Manor hotel above the cottages of the tiny fishing village of Montauk...
...where, in the schoolhouse the Colonel made a speech to the populace of eight whites and several hundred Eskimos, the Lindberghs headed south to Nome. Mrs. Lindbergh radioed ahead asking that flares and bonfires be prepared for their landing, but 100 mi. short of Nome they ran into soupy fog, sat down at Shishmaref south-west of Kotzebue Sound to wait for clear weather. (LINDYS LOST IN ARCTIC SEA headlined the catchpenny New York Evening Graphic.) Several hours later they reached Nome, put their ship down on Safety Bay, 21 mi. away, instead of in the Nome River.

Now he was in England two days ahead of the speed record set by his good friend Lieut. Charles W. A. Scott, Royal Air Force...

Bad weather bound the flyers for three days and two nights at Aklavik, where they were lionized by the 35 white residents and the hundred or so Eskimos (to whom Col. Lindbergh was "Big Airplane Man"). When the fog cleared along the Arctic coast the Lindberghs flew on to icebound Point Barrow, Alaska, to the indescribable delight of the residents who had received neither visitors nor mail nor supplies from "outside" for four months. Bad weather set in again. Meanwhile in the U. S. there was talk that the real...
