...Lindberghs. The legend of Lindbergh infallibility has withstood minor shocks but never a shock like the one it endured last week. After crossing the Bering Sea without mishap and effecting a comparatively happy landing at Petropavlovsk, near the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Lindbergh troubles began. They continued for four days while headlines describing the oriental odyssey in occidental newspapers grew wide with astonishment...
...minutes after the take-off minor motor trouble developed. The plane paused for two hours at Avatcha Bay while Col. Lindbergh made repairs, took off again for Nemuro. This time the plane stayed up for half the distance to Nemuro when a radio message from Anne Lindbergh was picked up by the Ochishi radio station. It said: "Unknown where we are because of fog" and asked what was the best place to come down. "Muroton Bay'' (where Japanese Aviator Seiji Yoshihara recently cached gasoline while trying to fly to the U.S.) was the answer. The Lindberghs looped back...
...great figures of the Spanish-American War only William Randolph Hearst, who headlined the country into war, and the Lindbergh of 1898, Richmond Pearson Hobson who sank the Merrimac in the mouth of Santiago harbor, are alive (Hero Hobson is now a Prohibition and antinarcotic lecturer- TIME, March 2).

From Point Barrow, where they had their first dogsled ride and 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...
...Airplane Man/' The Lindberghs continued their northering flight to the Orient, making the supposedly hazardous stretch from Baker Lake 1,115 mi-to Aklavik, extreme northwest Canada, with a precision that silenced alarmists. 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...
