THE WYATT EARP
ARRIVAL IN PANAMA ZONE
PLANS OF WILKINS AND HOLLICK-KENYON
BALBOA, March 30.
The Wyatt Earp, with Sir" Hubert Wilkins and Mr. C. Hollick-Kenyon aboard, arrived en route for Norfolk (Virginia), where Sir Hubert will resume work on plans for a submarine expedition to the Arctic.
Mr. Hollick-Kenyon is returning to Winnipeg to resume his job with Canadian Airways in flying in north country mining areas, which he declared was more interesting than flights over Polar wastes. He said he found nothing unusual in Antarctic flying, and, if the area explored by the Ellsworth expedition should contain oil, coal, and possibly other minerals, as they believed it did, it would be entirely practicable to work the areas commercially by sending supplies in during warm periods and maintaining freight communications seasonally.
He added that the expedition had claimed for the United States the sector from the South Pole to the coast from longitude 80 degrees west to 120 degrees west.
