Recently three Japanese crabbers, from the fishing vessel Fumi Maru, were said to have attempted to land at Cape Kronotsky, Kamchatka, in a small boat in search for water. Spy scares are thicker than crabs on the cape. A Soviet patrol was reported to have surprised them, shot them down. In Moscow Japanese Ambassador Tamekichi Ota instantly demanded permission for the Japanese Consul at Petropavlovsk to board the Japanese destroyer Tachikaze, visit the scene of the affair and make a report. It was refused on the grounds that the Tachikaze was a warship, but the Consul was given permission...
...land and water are engaged in helping the squadron to cross and recross the ocean. Every scheduled stopping point and an emergency station at Greenland will be manned by crews of meteorologists, radiomen, mechanics. About 15 cruisers and trawlers and even two submarines (good at snaking through drift ice) patrol the course. Last link in the preparations which held up the take-off last week was establishment of the base at Labrador. The supply ship Alicia had not yet crashed the late icejam from the Strait of Belle Isle to Cartwright...
...planes for barnstormers and intrepid sportsmen. As early as 1913 he got the first of the government contracts on which he has since thrived. In 1917 came the first of the Martin bombers, first U.

...news that Ortiz was coming, the rebels flickered among the hills like fireflies. They attacked a Rural Guard patrol in Sancti Spiritus, killed three guardsmen. Twenty-five of them quietly overran and pillaged the sympathetic village of Taguasco. Others derailed a Havana-Santa Clara City passenger train, dynamited railway bridges at Jiqui, Donato and Tarafa. They looked for reinforcements, ammunition and money from the Cuban exiles in Miami. Cuba's onetime President Mario Menocal had disappeared from Miami. Some said (but few believed) he was on the high seas with the men and guns the Santa Clara rebels wanted...
...Langley Field. Va. The TC-13 is 200 ft. long. Beneath her belly she carries a 40-ft. control car equipped with four folding bunks, and a galley containing an electric stove and electric coffee urn. A crew of six could be accommodated for a four or five-day patrol flight. There are two 375-h.p. engines for propulsion, three auxiliary engines for operation of equipment. One of the three generates current for the radio when the ship is resting on land or water. (The control car is shaped like a boat.) Another engine operates a blower to force...
