VISITING AIR OFFICER DEPARTS
.Capt. Howard T. Douglas, U. S.
A. who arrived here July 18 from the
interior in connection with the govern
ment airplane flight from New York
to Nome, was among the number de
parting on the Victoria. Capt. IX>ug
las will proceed to St Michael and
thence up the Yukon, retracing his
Journey over the route of the air ex
pedition. ('apt. Douglas was commis
arrange for and report on landiryg
fields, secure supplies, etc, needed hy
the flyers. With his departure. Lt.
Case, a former airman, who saw ser
vice in France with the American
forces, will have charge of the land
ing field at Ft. Davis and assist in the
flight arrangements.
Discussing the possibilities of com
mercial flying in Alaska, Capt. Doug
las expressed the view that it is en
tirely feasible. "There is nothing
nowadays that is impossible in flying
either in winter or summer." Ques
tioned regarding the outlook for air
mail service. Capt. Douglas stated
that whatever !s done later in this line
will probably depend on the report
which he will take to Washington.
"The flying operation now in progress
is being carried out by the Army Air
Se; vice and is without doubt the most
pretentious aerial effort ever attempt
ed on this continent." Capt. Douglas
asserted. "If successful it will be an
outstanding landmark in the progress
of military aviation and doubtless the
forerunner of commercial flying in the
far North.
"The four planes which left Mew
York July 15 are of the battle plane
type and identical with those now used
in army military work. The 4,500
miles which lie between the eastern
metropolis and this center of popula
tion of the Northwestern corner of the
American continent, comprises vast
areas hitherto unexplored. The army
will prove by tlieir flight the feasibility
of transporting aerial units over un
explored territory.”
Capt. Pauglas said that in arrang
ing the flight only a small number of
the landing fields considered wore
charted in the office of the Air Service
director at Washington and in order
to fully establish the route and ar
range for supplies he was sent ahead
to report on natural landing condi
tions and, in many eases, to arrange
for the construction of airdomes.
The expedition is being conducted
by men especially chosen for their fly
ing abilities and aggressiveness. Capt.
St Clair Streets, the commander, is
.an army flyer with a fine record In
France during the war. Three lieu
tenants, namely Second iJetit. Erick
IT. Nelson. Second Tdeut. C. E.
Crumrine. and Second Idem. Ross C.
Kirkpatrick are the pilots of the re
maining three planes.
Capt. Douglas himself spent 19
months in air service overseas and
took part in five major operations,
serving with two French and three
American army corps. Following the
armistice he was in command of the
3rd Air Corps when the American
forces were holding the Coblenz bridge
head. At present he is connected
with the trainlng'and operations group
of the Air Service at Washington.
Capt. Douglas expressed warm ap
preciation of the welcome and hospi
tality tendered during his stay and ret
quested the Nugget to extend his
thanks to the people of Nome for their
kindness and many courtesies.. Just
before leaving Capt. Douglas was pre
sented with a nugget and old ivory1
watch fob by Mayor Rice and Coun
cilman M. W. Griffith on behalf of'
the City and people of Nome.

roadstead waiting for the long contin
ued storm to go down. During a brief
lull Sunday afternoon, the power
launch Defiance manned by the Coast
Guard crew, succeeded in reaching the
steamer, landing five or six of the
more venturesome passengers and the
first class mail. The passage of ihe
launch through the high surf was ac
complished without mishap as a result
of skillful seamanshij). Shortly af
ter the launch arrived the surf again
made navigation Impossible. After
another delay of two days, during
which the wind blew a hurricane, a
half dozen passengers were brought
ashore by the Standard. A few hours
later approximately fifty more were
landed by lighter. Before another trip
could be made the storm again arose
ant' continued until Thursday, compet
ing the forty or fifty passengers on
hoard to resume watchful waiting un
til-the weather god’s vented their had
temper. The last of the list were
placed on shore Thursday morning af
