...planes were ever to take them home again, they must descend. And there below them the first streak of blue seen in eight hours indicated water, a "lead" in the pack ice. Down nosed Amundsen in the N-25, the N24 following suit. Suddenly, a break in the steady roar of the motors, as startling as a shout, smote Amundsen's ear. N-25's engine had died. The pilot, Riiser-Larsen, now must land wherever he could. God help him ! He made the water, but not the main "lead." The plane torpedoed into a hummock, quivered...
...silence. Old Boer Senators leaned forward, hand behind ear in order that not one word of the Prince's English should escape their Dutch-hardened tympanums.

For the first time since 1913, the exhibition escaped from the influence of the military; hard horizons, khaki browns diminished; dead men in rutted lanes gave place to somnolent picnickers...
...down the Philadelphia estuary, Lieutenants Kyle and Schildauer last week drove the PN9 from 10:22 one morning to 2:58 the next afternoon-a total of 28 hr., 36 min., making about 2,300 miles. Their faces badly wind-bitten, the crew . had been so deafened by the roar of engines they could hardly hear the eager greetings when they landed. They had completed the test for the Honolulu trip...
