the .route before. He said that he
was looking for ;the Copper River RR.
bridge. He was in a cloud bank and
the moisture was so thick that he
c077ld-not see the bridge and so he
flfwiduer it. Therefore -he lost his
direotiom.- ;And flew till He was a
bout ten miles this side of McCar
thy. Then he turned back toward
Shitina. When he got! back to 7Strel
p.a he dropped down low and-yelled to
the trackwalker.' The track-walker
coiTld not .make Dieterle hear above
the roar of the motor, so he pointed
the way 077t to Dietorle. The flyer
fianlly got to Chitina-and- came down
by the depot instead of -over- the RR.
