DEAR ONES-
We have had a hero with us . . . yet another adventurer oj the air .. . one ivho knows well the lonely places of the world. For surely the highway of the clouds is a lone one lo travel, and the battlegrounds of the North where the great storms rage and the winds swing over the earth are far and terrible. Commander Byrd has known this fearful Top of the World and flown the wide Atlantic. He knows and fears and dares again .. . and that is courage. Now he would go forth once more. Quietly .. . with his boats, his dogs, his aeroplanes, and his little band of brave men . . . he would suffer two and a half years in. the frozen South that we may know our Earth lo ils farthest corners. Tic has a small boy and three small girls al home. And because he loves them he sent his love to its . . . every smallest one. And so I shook his hand and told him that we . . . etwy small- . est, one of our three thousand . . . wished him all his wishes and- a safe and happy going. Is it not so, my dear ones? FAIRIEL.
