Copyright, 1927, in all countries by the North America Newspaper Alliance.) POINT BARROW, Alaska, May 29. —After a perfect trip over the Endicott mountains Alger Graham and I arrived here yesterday morning and are grooming our plane for another hop into the arctic "blind spot." Just what our course will be after taking off from Point Barrow depends upon the discoveries we make in the unexplored area, northwest of here. If there is land in this area we will find it. We will gftther meteorogical and other scientific data. Ducks and geese fly off into this region from Point Barrow every spring. That is why many old-timers believe land lies in that direction. We will encournter fog in all probablity. No man has been where we are going. Our flight may bring us out at Grantland or Greenland, or it may mean an all summer trek back across the ice fields for Graham and me. Whatever we are to encounter we will learn soon, for we will take off as soon as the Detroit News Second, our plane, is serviced and tuned.
