alike turned out to wish . us God
trpeed. All of the officials were
on hand to see that the utmost ;
was done for me In making me
comfortable and see that I had
everything. My plane when 1 crash
ed was-so far away from the beach
■tranded on the tundra that 1 gave
uip any boipes of getting it out, so
all I brought back to Nome with
me was my instrument panel, the
propeller and the motor all of
which accompanied m^ in the
Russian plane.
There is one thing I will say
i about my stay at Anadyr and
that was the Russians certainly
took wonderful care of me and T
wish at this time to thank the en
tire crew of the Russian plane for
their tremedous effort in coming
up into the Arctic from Khabar
ovsk to faring me over to Nome.
During the flight they acted con
fident, showed utmost courage' in
face of gias shortage and possibil
ity of having to set down in the
eea and wait for rescue which
lrfckily didn’t happen. They are
all fine upright citizens of Soviet
Russia and as far as the. flying
game goes they’re just some of
the boys and are real pilots.”
Coast Guard Cutter Northland,
anchored here heard word first re
garding Mattem it also sent word
outside that. Poe: passed thru
Nome. Mattem and Russian crew
are now being entertained bere.
The Russians are extremely int
erested in this ckty ibecaus*A-«f it*
•world wide reputation as a gold
producing camp; They want to
wee all the famous sights including
the big miming ccompanies especial
ly dred'ges because in their coun
try the Soviets are opening up
’ * fikberia on a large scale thru dredg
tug operations.
The Commander of thp Russian
plane stated to Baro>n P.M. Fried
lander who speaks Russian and
W’ho has Ibeen in Russia many
years, "We wish to thank every
one in connection with our recep
1 tion in Nome and extend sincere
to the people of Nome. Alaska and
greetings of. faith and friendliness
the citizens of the United States;**
The Russian plane was taken to
the seaplane base at Safety. The
Russians will remain in Nome for
a day or so, also Mattern iwho will
then proceed to Fairbanks with the
Alexander expedition from New
YoT*k. Mattem said. “We certain
ly are glad to get back in Nome.
1 was never so surprised in my
life to find •‘tune of my old friend^
from New York at Nome. I knew
Bill Alexander was at Nome be
cause we talked from Anadyr to
Nome together, but I didn’t know
my old sidekick, Freddie Fetter
man was here with the gang. 1
didn’t know Thomas Abbey but 1
ware appreciate the chance to
ehake hande with him for hi9
noble efforts’ in volunteering to j
come look for me when things !
looked pretty black. I felt pretty
sick over in Siberia but as soon
as I gat back to good American
soil and can talk English again I I
think I feel like a million dollars. |
I'm sdrry after all efforts and '
nhoney expended toy the rescue ex
pedition getting up to Nome that
they were unable to some across
to Siberia for me.
They told me 'here that Wiley
Posit passed thru Nome early in
the morning. Gee, I’m sure glad
to hear he is going so good. 1
hope sincerely he completes his
flight and sets a new record. My
hotpes to set. a record solo—flight
arotind the world are unfortunate
ly not completed hut I’m pulling
for Wiley to put up a wonderful
record and see him complete tin*
idea which I was unable to do.
After looking over Nome and all
'the people reminds ime of the time
I visited here tiwo years ago when
1 fle\y the refueling plane for Reg
Robbins and Jones who attempt
ed twice to make a non-stop flight
from Seattle to Tokyo., The City
looks just about the same as be
fore except am awfully glad get
here, it looks almost like Ifonie,”

La vanovsky; Pilo s, Tchernavsky
and Bevchinko; mechanics Krutskl

Naval air comps stationed at Sev
astopol on the Black Sea"" sixteen
thousand miles from Anadyr. They
came direct via plane especially to
make this flight to Anadyr to
bring Ma tern to Nome. Com
mander Bevanovsky stated. “This
is the most, difficult flight in my
a-, reer with flying boats across
Russian Siberia as 1 could only
land on rivers and lakes.”
All of the Russians are young
