HUANG ELL ISLAND EXPEDI
TION WLL MAKE SECOND
SEARCH SHORTLY
MOSCOW, Jan., 23, (/P)—A wire- j
less message from Wrangell Is-1
land to the Soviet Arctic Com
mission at Moscow, said that a;
blinding snowstorm beyond the j
Arctic Circle made it impossible;
to discover any trace of the Amer- l
ican aviators, Eielson and Bor-1
land.
The message came from Gov
ernor Mineyeff, of Wrangell, who,
’With a group of other Russians, I
set out by dog team many days!
ago to search for the fliers. They i
returned to the island January j
14 without having found any I
trace of them.
“We moved along in a line
from Cape Doubt directly south
ward. About 25 kilameters from
the island we encountered broken
floating ice. There was no trace
of the missing Americans. The
constant heaving ice and snow
storms hindered the search and
we were obliged to return be-,
cause of lack of food for the
dog.”
Governor Mineyeff manned his
expedition while awaiting confir
mation to the rumors among na
tives on Chukotsk peninsula, that
the Eielson plane was seen land
ing in that vicinity.
He and his party are ready
to start on a second trip in search
of the fliers toward Rogers Bay.
The Mineyeff expedition is only
one of several ordered out, by
dogsled and airplane, by the So
viet authorities.

FLAGSHIP ONLY REACHED THE
EDGE OF THE ICEPACK
ON ROSS SEA
NEW YORK, Jan., 23, (/P)—
With the ice blocking the pas
sage of Byrd’s flagship to his
base at Little America, an appeal
has been made, through the
state department, to aid Norwe
gian whalers and help save the
Byrd expedition from spending
another year in the Antarctic
ice barrier.
The New York Times said
that Captain Railey, manager of
the expedition said, the City of
New York, Byrd’s flagship, had
reached the ice pack on Ross
Sea but owing to the unprecedent
ed condition of the icepack, the
New York and the Eleanor Boll
ing may not succeed negotiating
the southward passage to Byrd's
base; at least not without the
aid of larger vessels.

WANTS BERGER TO
CATCH HIM 8 WILE
Suffering catfish!
Leaping tunas!
A gink in the states writes
! Capt. Heinie Berger, of the M
S. Discoverer, that he wants Hie
; nie to snare him a buluga por
poise white whale and ship it
to him. That he desires the mam
mal of the deep for educational
purposes.
At this time if any reader ol
this happens to see a buluga
peaking around, or joyfully sport
ing about with careless abandon
please notify Heinie.
He is wondering if he lets out
a war-whoop similar to. “The
Call of the Banshee” if that
would make the bulugas jump out
of their pants. If so it would be
a simple matter to fill the wanti
of this chap outside.
A few of the questions asked
were: He wants on of them. Car
the buluga be delivered to thf
San Juan Cold Storage plant'
How much will the cost be? The
buluga is to be used for educa
tional purposes.
Aha! The plot thickens. He
probably is going to teach the
buluga reading, writing and arith
| metic, and to sit on it‘s tail anc
| bark like a fox.
; For further information please
