CAPTAIN WILKINS
Capt. G. H. Wilkins, veteran Arctic
explorer, and Lieut. Carl B. Eileson,
army and commercial flier, were
guests of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday at tile luncheon
held in the Seward Grill, and both
gave brief, but very interesting talks
on their present work and on other
matters of an Alaskan nature.
Wilkins and Eileson will use a
new Lockhead single-motored mon
oplane which they expect to go 30
miles an hour faster, fully loaded,
than Colonel Lindbergh’s. They are
to start from Point Barrow about
April 1. Until then, while Wilkins is
completing his preparations and sur
veys, Eileson is to be busy as an in
spector for the department of com
merce, aeronautical division.
This year’s exploration is financed
by Wilkins and the American Geogra
phical Society, it is said, and besides
looking for the land McMillan, Peary
and Stefansson thought they saw,
Wilkins hopes to choose sites for Arc
tic meteorological stations, which
would give warning long in advance
of storms headed for America and
Europe.
Any sight of lahd this time will
mean a stop to explore, and the story
meanwhile will be sent by short
wave radio to the States.
It is the intent to fly across to
Greenland, thence back to the United
States thru Europe. Captain Wilkins
said he thought it was quite probable
this would be the last time they would
be in Sewrard, owing to the projected
flight across to Spitzbergen.
He dwelled briefly on the work they
have conducted in the Arctic on for- j
mer expeditions and informed his;
hearers that 50 percent of the work
outlined last year had been success
fully carried out.
In closing he said it is always a
pleasure to have been in the city again i
but that he would much rather send
Seward a message this year from
Greenland, instead of returning to the
States by this route.
President Urbach thanked Captain
Wilkins for his remarks and assured
him of the well wishes of the citizens
of Seward that his plans may be car
ried out to fruition.
