Crosses Told of
Flying Trip To
Point Barrow
Mr. and Mrs. John Cross gave
an interesting account of their
recent airplane trip to Point Bar
row. Pilot Cross flew to the far
northern village to bring Lieut.
Urbane of the U. S. Signal Corps
and Mr. McGinty, supervising
construction engineer for the
Office of Indian Affairs, back to
Nome. Mrs. Cross accompanied
him on the trip.
They left Kotzebue about
noon August 18 and, as the
clouds were too thick over Cape
Lisbourne for safe passage, re
turned to Kivalina and spent the
night there. The next day they
flew on to Barrow.
August 20 the northern point
came through with some real
Arctic weather, and flying was
curtailed by snow squalls so se
vere that the visibility dropped
to a quarter of a mile at times.
On Aug. 22nd they hopped off
for Kotzebue nad reached there
without further weather difficul
ty
The Cross’s remarked partic
ularly on the hopitality offered
them during their stay. They
were house guests of Mr. and
M s. Stanley Morgan, who op
prate the Barrow radio station.
Said Mrs. Cross: “The thing that
impressed me most was that we
had fresh tomatos, lettuce, and
banas in the most nothern village
in America. The tomatos and let
tuce were grown right at Bar
how, in a small greenhouse, and
the bananas were brought off the
S. S. Patterson, which was an
chored off Point Barrow.”
They report that the outside
wall and roof of the new hospi-t j
al are completed, but the finish-1
ing and insulating work was aw
aiting the arrival of construe- l
tion materials. The village has
had a good season, whth plenty
of good hunting and a fine catch
of walrus.
