Captain Mercier stated that unless he encounters most unfavorable ice conditions he will {reach Point Amour by tonight, and will have the flyers ashore in Canada by late tomorrow or early Monday morning. According to the latest word received here today, the Bremen, the first plane to travel successfully in a westwardly direction over the treacherous North Atlantic, being dis- mantled and prepared for shipment aboard the Montcalm. is Flyers Not Worn by Experience The three flyers, Captain Hermann Kochl, Commandant James E. Fitzmaurice and Baron Ehrenfried von Huenfeld spent the night in quiet sleep, radio dispatches stated. They did not seem in the least bit worn by their experiences, and ap- peared to take their hazardous flight and its precipitous ending as @ matter of course. Dispatches were received here from Point Amour, Labrador, to which point they had been carried by dog-sled from Greenly Island, the barren piece of rock and ice where the flyers landed. The north Atlantic ocean has at last been spanned in a west- ward flight. The silver-gray monoplane Bremen is at Greenly Island, seven miles off the coast of Labrador, after an epochal 34-hour {light, during which it battled grimly against sleet, snow, rain and headwinds. Captain Hermann Koehl, Commandant James E. Fitrmau- rice and Baron Ehrenfried von Huenfeld are safe but they are mayooned on an ice-bound island. Lack of Fuel Forces Landing The Bremen was forced to alight because it ran out of fuel in ite exhaustive fight against the elements. In landing the plane's propeller was smashed and its landing gear was slightly damaged. The Canadian government has ordered the ice-breaker Montealm to proceed to Greenly Island to rescue the fliers. The Montcalneis now on its way and its captain radioed he expected to reach the island before nightfall. Greenly Island is in the Straits of Belle Isle which are frozen over and closed to ordinary shipping. News of the flyers land- ing was brought to Point Amour, Labrador, where there is a Canadian government wireless station, by dog-«led. When the flyers landed they were fatigued but jubilant. They slept through the night at the home of the lighthouse keeper of the island. that came unless it had some official ting to it..

The flight will be made in a sister plane to the Bremen, the only other Jun- kers plane in the United States. It will be plioted by Fred Melchier and Fraulein Hertha Junkers, daughter of the fore- :\ most plane manufacturer in Germany. Should the efforts to rescue the Bremen flyers by ice-breaker and plane fail, the flyers may have to resort to dogaled. In that case they face a journey of many days. The Straits of Belle Isle separate Labrador from Newfound. land. The surrounding country is bleak and «snow-covered. However, there is fishing station on Greenly Island which is plentifully supplied with food and the flyers will be comfort- able regardless of the length of their stay. Canadian government officials are averse to sending a plane to Greenly. 1’hey say the attempt would be too hazardous and a ght be impossible. The successful termination of the figiht was hailed all over the world as an historical achievement. The flyers had almost been. given up for lost when news of their safety was finally ***)flashed around the globe. Fear inspired by the tragic endings of the seven other air- men who dared to venture westward ameross the stormy north morning that the relief flight to the Bremen at Greenly Island would not be made, says the Associated Press.
