BLIZZARD EXPECTED.
Little America W’atches Glass Fall. United Press Assn—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, May 2. A report from Little America states that the men worked all day under til—pale moonlight lowering the giant Condor aeroplane into its sunken snow hangar. A ten-mile wind made the job difficult. Similar hangars will be prepared for the smaller aeroplanes. The Condor weighs about eight tons including two tons of fuel. Easing it into the pit was exhausting work. As one man said, it was like trying to drydock a whale. The barometer was falling on Tuesday and a blizzard is expected.
