SERIOUS DIFFICULTY
Flying Hutchinsons Held Up NO FUEL IN GREENLAND (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) Copenhagen, September 4. The flying family of Hutchinsons are in a serious predicament. They had no permission to land at Godthaad, Greenland, and are liable for a heavy fine. They made no arrangements for fuel, and none is available. The authorities maintain the prohibition against a continuance of the flight to Angmagsalik en route for Iceland and Scotland on account of the danger, for, if the Hutchinsons should be unable to continue the flight from Angmagsalik, they would have to winter there. As the last ship has already left, they might have to stay indefi.nitely, if fuel is unobtainable. The Hutchinsons are flying in a Sikorsky amphibian, “City of Richmond.’’ The party totals eight, George Hutchinson, his wife, two daughters, aged .6 and 8, a navigator, mechanic, motion picture operator, and radio man, and they set out on a flight to London by easy stages. They flew to Anticosti Island, and thence to Labrador, from which they went to Greenland.
