i scientific observations.
i
J Captain Wilkins said he did not ex
J pect to approach within 500 miles of
J the Pole if he completes the work he
J has set out to accomplish, namely the
| exploration of the blind spot north
of Point Barrow. However, such mat
ters will be decided by circumstances
‘ when in the field.
J Captain Wilkins comes of pioneer
J stock, his ancestors having migrated
| to South Australia, where his father
[ was the first white child born in the
[ State of South Australia. He is a sci
| entist possessed of all qualifications
! essential to the successful accomplish
! ment of his task, namely courage,
knowledge of ice conditions, air navi
gation and astronomy. Our own Carl
Ben Eielson enjoys the distinction of
having contributed inestimable valu
able scientific data to aviation in the
sub-Arctic, where he proved the prac
ticability of the airplane for com
mercial adaptation in any temperature
or under any condition which might
be encountered in the polar regions.
As theresult of his pioneer work Alas
ka now has air mail routes and great
distances are being bridged within a
few hours that once required months
to traverse. He is the first man to
pilot an airplane over the Brooks
range and into the Arctic from Amer
ican shores, and to him Alaska ac
cords a fair share of the credit for
successful Arctic exploration by air
plane, including the conquest of the
Pole itself by Commander Byrd, and
successful Arctic exploration by Mac
Millan.
The last anxiety with respect to the
Wilkins expedition was removed to
day when Captain Wilkins learned
through an Associated Press dispatch
to the Gateway that Alger Graham,
accompanying the Wright Detroit
Stimson planes, had arrived safely in
Seattle and was sailing north on the
Northwestern.
The planes will be loaded onto
flatcars on their arrival and conveyed
to Fairbanks, where they will be tuned
up and prepared for the epochal in
vasion of the Arctic wastes by the air.
