MONTREAL, April 23.
The 1' oid 'plane piloted by Lieutenant Balchen, which left for Greenly Island to aid in the repairs of the Bremen, in which Herr Koehl, Baron von Huehncfeld, and Major J. C. Fitzmaurice recently flew across the Atlantic from Ireland, has reached the stranded 'plane.
Mr. Clarence Chamberlin and three companions hopped off from Hartford, Connecticut, yesterday for Greenly, via Murray Bay.* CommanCer Richard Byrd has also left Boston for Quebec.
The German airmen say 20 hours will be necessary to repair the Bremen after the Ford 'plane arrives. Natives in the neighbour!ll" districts say the Bremen must fly quickly before the thaws honeycomb the ice, but the weather now continues to be unseasonably cold.
