NO MORE POLAR FLIGHTS
NARROW ESCAPE OF BYRD’S ’PLANE
PETROL RUNS OUT IN THE AIR United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 18, 8.30 p.m.) LITTLE AMERICA, December 18. Another attempt to make an aerial exploration of the North Eastern peaks was defeated when Harold June was forced to turn back by heavy fogs after an hour’s flight at a high altitude. The motors stopped when the petrol supply failed and the ’plane nearly crashed, but June managed to bring the craft back to the camp safely. Rear-Admiral Byrd has indicated that no more flight attempts will be made.
