SPUN me, TOOT
OSLO, Norway, Aug., 27, —The
Whereabouts of Clyde Lee and J.
Bochkon, who were due to arrive
here Friday from their flight across
the Atlantic from Harbor Grace,
was a deep mystery.
The aviators so far have failed
to show up at any airport in the
British Isles and the fliers were un
reported from any Norwegian port.
It is known that bad weather
prevailed along portions of the
route the fliers had hoped to take
and there is a possibility they may
have been forced down at sea.
The fliers had made but simple
preparations for forced landing at
sea but this preparation may prove
ample in time of need. They car
ried a hack saw blade with which
they intended to cut loose the en
gine from their plane and thus
keep their plane afloat by means
of the gas tanks.
A huge crowd had gathered at
the Oslow flying field to await the
arrival of the daring men but they
gradually dispersed with heavy
hearts- Port officials ordered the
lights kept burning in the hope
the birdmen might still be enroute.
