BYRD’S AEROPLANES
Stowed for the Winter NEW YORK, May 2. The latest report from Little America states that the men worked all day under the pale moonlight lowering the giant Condor into the sunken snow hangar. A ten-mile-an-hour wind made the job difficult. Similar hangars will be prepared for the smaller planes. The Condor weighs about eight tons, including two tons of fuel. Easing it into the pit was an exhaustive work. As one man said, it was like trying to drydock a whale. The barometer was falling on Tuesday and a blizzard was expected.
