: A determining factor in arriving at a basis for future
air mail contracts will be the efficiency of the army in
‘handling the mail. Its ships are slower than those of,
private operators, though it is hoped that this will be off-
set by shorter stops due to elimination of passengers. The
first schedules are pretty sketchy in view of past private
gervice—many points will be left off the map, at least to

T i8 now February 26. For ten
days the Club has received no di
rect word from Arthur Abele in
Little America. The interruption is
One of these
is the fact that the engineers are
changing the radio equipment at
Little America and installing direc-
tional antennae so that future mes-
sages, stories and broadcasts will
come through perfectly. Messages
are now being received by Admiral
Byrd and his men
on the ice but
they are unable to
send messages
out. We should
be receiving our
stories in another
few days now and
we bet they will
be exciting stuff!
There is lots

Richard C. Hoyt Little America.
Radio Man The fast of the
supplies are being brought in from
the various caches on the ice and
the winter quarters are being made
Cap-
tain Allan Innes-Taylor, in charge
of Admiral Byrd's dog department,
has left with three other men for
a 300 mile journey back toward Car-
men Land to establish a food base
as part of the scientific program of
the expedition. A crack which is de-
veloping in the ice in back of Little
America is causing the Admiral
some concern and he is taking his
usual early and wise precautions.
When Arthur’s stories start coming
through again, we hope he will tell
us all about that dog sled journey
so you may mark it properly on
your Club maps.
This delay gives us a chance to
tell you about an interesting mem-
ber of the Club who is .not on the
Expedition but is a very important
member of it. This is Richard C.
Hoyt who, with his radio receiving
set, constitutes the northern end of
the 10,000 mile air line that trans-
mits the stories from President
Abele and Lieut. Comdr. George
Noville, who are collaborating in
keeping the now 12,000 Club mem-
bers informed about the doings
down at the bottom of the world.
From midnight to 8 a.m. every night
except Wednesdays, Dick Hoyt is
glued to his set, high in the radio
room of the Mackay Radio and
Telegraph Company, on Broad
Street, New York, and receives
Abele’s stories, expedition news bul-
letins, messages to families and all
the other “word traffic” which goes
on between this scientific Expedi-
tion and the outside world. Hoyt
is a cartoonist, a photographer, a
wood-carver and, he says, a fairly
good sailor, in addition to being an
expert radib operator. And what
do you think he does on his days
off? He is an amateur wireless
operator! In this capacity his name
is “W2FFL” and he is an active
member of the Naval Militia.
This week we had a most inter-
esting visit from D. G. Shook, in
charge of the expedition mail bur-
eau at Washington, and he asked us
to explain to the Club members how
they can have letters or envelopes
