Eskimo Shouts Of "Airship" Cause Stampede At Barrow: Newspaper Men See Norge's Cabins As Norge Passes, Heading For Nome./Snow At Point Barrow./Dirigible Probably Short Of Gasoline, Belief Of Watchers At Fairbanks. ESKIMO SHOUTS OF "AIRSHIP" CAUSE STAMPEDE AT BARROW Newspaper Men See Norge's Cabins as Norge Passes, Heading for Nome. SNOW AT POINT BARROW Dirigible Probably Short of Gasoline, Belief of Watchers at Fairbanks. By Earl Rossman. Special Correspondent of the North American Newspaper Alliance and the Spokesman-Review (Copyright, 1926, by North American Newspaper Alliance in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and all other countries. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohibited.) POINT BARROW, Alaska. May 14. (By Radio to Fairbanks)-- The Norge is not at Point Barrow. She was visible here Wednesday night for about one hour. She was heading due south. Shortly after passing Barrow, the big ship nosed down and then rose and continued on her course which was south. Eskimos See Norge First. The Norge was first sighted while Robert Waskey, our radio operator here, was sitting in his radio shack on the Arctic ocean shore. Several Eskimos rushed in excitedly shouting: "Airship, airship." Every one rushed outside to see the dirigible which was visible flying 500 feet high. Wilkins, Lanphier and Wisely were dining at the Mission at the time. They immediately hoisted the Stars and Stripes in salute. I began this dispatch at 4 a.m. Friday, New York daylight saving time. We are surprised to hear that the Norge has not been heard from yet at Fairbanks. The weather here remains foggy, with occasional snow flurries. Captain Wilkins still awaits clear weather here before his hop-off north. Could See Airship's Cabins. William C. Lyon, correspondent of the New York Times, and Leo Bundy, his radio operator, arrived here last night. They were about 35 miles from Barrow when the Norge passed. Lyon and Bundy were south of Barrow. Lyon said that when the Norge passed them she was flying at 500 feet and dipped and shut off her engine, evidently to take bearings, then rose and flew directly over them across the tundra. He could plainly see the cabins and the letting on the Norge. Apparently the Norge was taking the direct overland route to Nome. I obtained a motion picture record while the native village and white settlement here were pouring out to view the dirigible. The Eskimo Presbyterian mission church was holding prayer meeting, but this was suspended while the mission workers and their guests stood and watched the ship. |
