Lindberghs' Land To Escape Fog. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. TOKYO, Aug. 19. (Wednesday.)--The Ochiishi radio station was informed at 4:26 p.m. today (2:45 a.m., eastern standard time) by Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh that they were landing at Muroton bay, Shimushiro island, in the southern Kuriles, because of fog. Previously the flyers radioed they had passed over Shimushiro island, but were turning back owing to a high blanket of fog ahead of them. Down at Avatachu Bay. TOKYO, Aug 19. (Wednesday). (AP)-- Forced down by motor trouble at Avatachu bay soon after their take-off from Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, for Nemuro, Japan, a message to the communications department here said Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh took the air again at 10:45 a.m. today, Tokyo time (8:45 p.m., Tuesday, eastern standard time). Had Not Gone Far. The Lindberghs left Petropavlovsk at 8:45 a.m. (6:45 p.m. Tuesday, eastern standard time), but had flown only a few miles toward their destination, 897 miles distant, when they were forced to descend. The motor trouble, the nature of which could not immediately be learned, was not serious, for they were on their way again within two hours. If unfavorable weather should make it impracticable for the Lindberghs to continue to Nemuro today, they have several harbors to choose from along the Kuriles. These include Shimushiro, Paramushir and Muroton bay. The American round-the-world army flyers made Paramushir one of their bases seven years ago. Big Welcome Awaits. An enthusiastic welcome awaited the Lindberghs at Nemuro. An army of newspaper men and photographers whiled away the time as best they could, while natives of the town put the finishing touches on decorations of their new town hall and rehearsed their roles for the formal reception. Several airplanes were at Nemuro, chartered by newspapers to carry pictures of the landing and reception to other parts of the empire. There were reported to be only two vacant hotel rooms in that city, and these were reserved for Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh. Nemuro, a town of about 10,000, was overflowing with visitors. The Lindberghs are not expected to tarry long, probably not longer than overnight. Then will begin the last leg of their journey, which ends at the Kasumigaura naval base, near Tokyo. Colonel is Silent. That they will continue around the world in their plane, Colonel Lindbergh announced at Nome, still has not been confirmed here. In interviews at Petropavlovsk the colonel refused to discuss his itinerary beyond Tokyo. It was learned today that Colonel Lindbergh last night wirelessed the American embassy here stating he might not be able to reach NEmuro today and requesting the embassy to ask the Japan aviation bureau for an emergency landing permit somewhere in the Kuriles. The application was granted. Hotel Men Happy. TOKYO, Aug 18. (CDN)--Except for hotel people, who are profiting from the influx of welcomers, the population of Nemuro is greatly disappointed by the delay in the arrival of the Lindberghs. New spectators are arriving on every train at Nemuro. Hotel guests are sleeping three and four in a room, including 25 newspaper reporters from Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo and Hakodate, these last two cities being the largest in Hokkaido. Taxicab rates are soaring $20 daily, which is sufficient to start a feverish repairing of ancient contraptions removed from the streets years ago. Hot Spell Sets In. Nemuro's weather is the hottest in 10 years, with a temperature of 83. Etorofu island, over which the Lindberghs will approach Nemuro, was clearly visible after this morning's early fog lifted. Townspeople of Nemuro fear that such weather is not likely to last because it is extremely rare during the summer. On the other hand, the weather over at the northern Kurile islands is reported to be unfavorable for flying. The greatest difficulty is being experienced in obtaining information from Petropavlovsk. The soviet radio station there is apparently unable or unwilling to reply to calls from Ochiishi station on Hokkaido, Colonel Lindbergh is understood to be unable to transit messages from his plane because of soviet regulations. |
