VISITED BY WILKINS
(United Press Association— By Electrio Telegraph-Copyright)
MONTREAL, 29th March
•V message from Hatton, North Dakota, states that Wilkins was delayed by snowstorms, but arrived to pay his respects at Eielsen's grave, on which Ift placed a wreath. He said: I cannot say enough about him. I thought of him as a friend and a man. He was a skilful flier, and was the best pal a man ever had. The storms at Chicago and Detroit reminded me of the flights Ben and I made in the Arctic. It made it just a little harder to think of them burying him out here."
