The supply needed for the men and for the engines amounted to three thousand liters. The exceeding pres- sure causesa dropped-sheet of- paper to fall like a brick, and therefore parachutes had to be abandoned as possible safety devices. And at the altitude jingling coins make no hi _ perceptible noise, so. that arrange- ments for telephone communication were necessarily more complicated. Also, at this height, serious difficul- ties were encountered in regulating temperature, which ran usually from 80 to 50 degrees below zero. The men’s suits, gloves, boots, and goggles’ had.to be kept heated by an intricate system—of~-wires;~ the “oxygen pipes had to be kept warm lest water freez- ing in the pipes should stop the sup- ply, and the cameras had to’ be heat- ed at an even temperature to - pre- vent the films and rubberized shut- ters from cracking and to keep the metals in the machines from contract- ing unevenly with the cold, After-much-experimenting’ with the equipment, and scientific tests applied to men and machines to see if they could stand the extremes of tempera- tures and pressure they would encoun- ter in their flight, the members of the expedition had to bide their time for the flight. Among the party were included the excellent pilots,, McIn- tyre and Clydesdale, who in order that the photographers, Bonnet and Fisher, might get a straight survey strip of photographs to map the-ter- : ritory | covered in the flight, had--to fly apart and fhen close in as they came toward the peak—all this in-dif- ficult flying conditions. Finally, however, the meteorolo- gists forecast fairly good flying weather for April 2: the wind was blowing only about 55 miles an hour. The members of the expedition rose early so that they might get into the ‘air by eight or ten A. M. when there are comparatively few clouds te ob-: scure photographs. The observer and pilot in each plane put on their heat- ed suits, adjusted their telephone, their test mikes, their masks, their oxygen pipes and closed the cockpits preparatory to taking off. As they rose above the checkered plains of Nepal the dust haze made the fields drift away beneath them, dissolving -nto a purplish monochrome with no horizon visible, ‘The snowline passed at-18,000-feet,-and“at 19,000 feet they suddenly emerged from the dust haze to see the great Kinchinjunga loom- ing before them, rising sheer white in the dark blue basin of the sky, while to the left Everest rose high ubove the foothills, flanked by Maka- lu and the sweep of peaks all twenty to twenty-five thousand feet in height. . Beyond Kinchinjunga, Everest, fly- ing-a white snow plume sometimes” as long as 20 miles, rose sharp in front of the plane. But first they had to fly Makalu, during which an oxygen pipe broke and the pilot had to repair it temporarily with his handkerchief. They flew the remaining seven or eight: miles to the peak of Everest, passing above the pyramidal summit from the snow-covered southeastern . side, never seen before, to the barren north side. The excitement of achieving their goal -was short-lived, however. They had little spare time to appreciate the breath-taking beauty of the sum- mit while they were passing over it, and, further, they were anxious con- cerning thgir photographs. These not only constituted the explorers’ sole . proofe& cheir achievement, but also were to represent the contribu- lion of the expedition to scientific knowledge; and if they were not suic- cessful the expedition had really failed. When the films were developed they found that many of them were spoil- ed, thereby leaving their records of the territory patched and fragmen- tary at most.- So the men were in- sistent upon making a second flight. —— Time, ae American Tobacco Company Direct from the Metropolitan Opera House Saturday at 1:45 -P.
