BYRD IS ISOLATED IN MOUNTAINS

PLANE TO BE SENT TO HBS AID SITUATION NOT ALARMING. radio coienmicATiON kept ui .j (Received 9.15 a.m.) (Copyrigbtjfrom Byrd Expediitbn by Sj I r Mussell Owen.) BAY OP WHALES, March 21. Commander Byrd is isolated under the peaks of the mountains he discovered on his first flight. He is only 128 miles away, but if he had to walk hom*e it would take him three weeks because of the weather. However, before that becomes necessary the remaining plane will he in commission and should be able to make a flight and bring him, Hanson and Gould back to the base. Although it' is necessary to reach them as soon as possible, because

of the lateness Of the season, we

are not worried about the present situation, as we were about the

others, for we have radio communication with-them two or three times I a day.—Copyright by New York Times and St. Louis Post Despatch.
