If you have any doubt about the meaning of
the phrase "flying by the seat ef yotir
pants" lust inquire of John W; Clark,
manager of ITeiil, Clark &'Co., public
accountants in Fairbanks, Seems as if he
knows at first hand.
Jack Clark left Fairbanks in his own plane
alone, on January 21 for Home. He re- '
turned on the same plane six days later,
but not altogether as ho took off from
TTceke Field,
Somewhere between Tandna and Kokfrinos, a
