DARLING AND MACKIE GIVEN PRAISE
BY FAIRBANKS EDITOR; FLYERS
RETURN TO HOMES IN ANCHORAGE
On Saturday’s train into Anchorage
from the Interior were Roy A. Darling
and Ralph Mackie, the boys who went
over to Fairbanks to fly the airship to
Nome with serum relief. With Lieut.
Lynch they made the combine of three
former members of the Royal Cana
dian Flying Corps who were out to
help Nome if help was needed and
could be delivered by plane, while
awaiting them at Ruby was Jimmie
O’Bryan, movie cameraman on his way
to Siberia for big game pictures, who
flew three years Over There with the
same Corps and who was ready to pic
ture them or take them out, as the
case might be. Regarding this at
tempt at the relief of Nome by air
ship, Editor Thompson of Fairbanks,
who is now here, says:
“The flight was conceived and was
attempted to be carried out in the
Spirit of the North. There was no
element or thought of moneymaking in
it from start to finish. Nome need
ed help, appealed to Delegate Suther
land who formerly “longshored” in
Nome, and Sutherland appealed to me,
for airplane relief. I appealed to the
Fairbanks Airplane Corporation, whose
machines were all disassembled and
in winter quarters. They appealed
to all and sundry the helpers and
blacksmiths and fliers who could get
action on that Nome flight. Every
body did what they could, unselfishly.
They worked their heads off, night
and day, threw a tarpaulin over the
frame of the hangar on Week’s Field,
built a fire therein and forgot to eat.
“It hadn’t happened to my person
al knowledge, in 12 years, but the
“elements” right then proceeded to
move in and put the “Relief of Nome”
by airship on the “blink.” For 16
days it was so cold that I couldn’t
get from my office to the restaurant
three doors away, to eat luncheon.
The boys would build; a fire under the
engine, heat her up, then run her out
of the hangar to “tune her up” and,
maybe, take her off the ground. Be
fore they could get the boat to the
mooring skids, the blamed engine
would be frozen again. She was, evi
dently, of the Max Sennett Bathing
Beauty, or Palm Beach variety of ship
and she didn’t hanker after the cold.
“And so it went, day after day, ad
nauseam. There was no horizon, no
visibility; the flier who started out in
such conditions would have no idea
where he was going and might not go
far—not that the fliers cared, if the
ship would only start to skelp the
rise. The serum came down the line,
was ‘split’ at Nenana, part going by
relay-dogteam td Nome, the remainder
delivered to Darling for the airship
way. The fog hung over and dipped
into the Tanana Valley until you could
not see a block ahead of you, and
stuck just like that. But the dog
teams, in 30-mile relays, kept a movin’
along. When the dogteam serum was
within a day’s reach of Nome, the
mean weather started in to reform,
and made an upward jump of about
50 degrees in 24 hours. The hills
came out and showed themselves, and
there Avas horizon and visibility every
where and the ship was kind and
ready to be good and the flyers ready
to go, when came the news that Nome
was safe and needed no relief by air
ship. The weather just spilled the
beans on the relief of Nome. I will
never believe in weather again, save
just as I meet up with it from day to
day.
The News-Miner probably spent less
than a million dollars in telegrams
answering inquiries about the world
attractive flight, worked the force in
to the hospital and caused all other
business to be suspended. The fliers
for their two-weeks work and effort
were compensated handsomely, as
they desired—Darling got 312 and
Mackie, who lost an overcoat and ten
dollars worth of pipes when the ‘prop’
struck back when Lynch was trying
to ‘spring’ it got $33. The Fairbanks
Airplane Corporation received an as
sessment of about a thousand dollars,
with no knowledge that they will ever
get a cent back from any source, and
not caring particularly about that. And
the News-Miner man who was hand
ling the world-publicity of the relief
flight got and will continue to get for
months to come ‘hell’ from all the
newspapers in the world to whom it
could not furnish the news that the
ship had reached Nome, while Alaska
J will for years to come get the nega
tive advertising that it is so cold in
| Alaska that an airship cannot take off
i in February.
“Lovely billiards, this humane stuff.”
