A MODERN home built in the Arctic
defied the death-dealing core of the
Polar Regions and proved an in
valuable aid to Lieutenant Commander
Richard E. Byrd In his successful Hight to
the North Pole, which he circled three
times In a record breaking flight of 1,500
mfles In 15 hours and 30 minutes at an
average speed of 98.75 miles an hour.
It was at the Spitsbergen base, King’s
Bay, where this first modern house was
constructed amid the snow and Ice of the
Arctic Immediately upon the arrival of
Lieutenant Byrd and bls companions, as
a permanent home and observation sta
tion A>r the explorers. The house, which
rose up on the horizon of the frigid norih in inntued con
trast to the igloo of- the eskimo, was equipped with a com
plete radio outfit that those who remained at the base
wliile Lieutenant Byrd made his thrilling dash to the
Pole in his speeding Fokker might keep in touch with
their chief and the outside world, which they* kept In
formed as to the progress and success oftlm flight.
It was to this same home that he returned tatter his
hazardous trip and from which some of the first mes
* sages "-wertf" sent to tiw wuitlu< pttMft-, toMing them
through the lanes of the air that Byrd had circled the
pole three times and had returned to his Spitsbergen
home In safety, adding one of the most memorable pages
to the history of Arctic exploration.
Sugar Caaa Fights Polar North.
When Lieutenant Byrd left the Brooklyn Navy Yard on
the ship Chantler he declared lie had Wie best and most
Scientifically equipped expedition that ever had Parted
for the North Pole. Special plans were made for the
erection of hts Arctic home. Boards of eelotex insulating
lumber made from bagasse (sugar cane fiber after nil
sugar juices have been extracted) were carried along
with the latest Inventions to aid In polar exploration.
This building material Is very light and is filled with
millions of air cells, which give It great Insulation value
and resistance to change In temperature, especially the
severe cold. One odd circumstance In connection with
the use of this material is that the sugar cane of the
south was utilized to fight the cold of the north.
Celotex was selected instead of lumber because tests
made by the United States Bureau of Standards and
its universal use in building construction all over the
world, had demonstrated that this Insulating lumber
would keep the quarters of the explorers warmer and
protect their living conditions more' securely than ordi
nary building material.
It was only after careful investigation by the scientific
men In the expedition that celotex was selected. These
authorities pointed out that the protection'■afforded by
its Insulation efficiency was three times as great as ordi
nary lumber and nearly twelve times as great as that
of brick and other masonry material. The ship Chantler
also was lined with celotex as an added precaution to
keep the ship warm while the explorers used it In the
preliminary stages of the expedition.
In practically every other way this expedition was
more scientifically prepared than any of its predeces
sors. These included Inventions of Commander Byrd
himself. A simple sun compass conceived by Byrd aftd
developed by Mr. Bumstead of the National Geographic
Society, superseded the complicated German device, de
veloped three years ago for Amundsen. The drift In
dicator also was Byrd’s Invention. The bubble sextant
by whlclv-the navigator obtains his bearings while tn
flight was another one of his Inventions. Still another
identic development was a quick method of telling when
one Is at the North Pole. This has been worked out
by G. W. Llttlehales, the navy’s hydrographic engineer.
Device Locates the Pole.
Byrd and others contributed to a chart of the mag
netic lines flowing toward the magnetic North Pole,
which Is In Bolthla Land, 1.200 miles south of the Pole.
Between Bolthla Land and the Pole the campass points
south instead of north and over much of the Arctic
It is badly disturbed by the discrepancy of position be
tween the geographical North Pole and the magnetic
(North Pole.
This chart of the magnetic lines, flowing to the mag
netic North Pole, although It was far from'complete, was
such as to enable the navigator to tell In what direction
the compass should point from any spot In the Arctic.
With this knowledge, the erratic behavior of the com
pass becomes orderly and It is once again a useful instru
ment.
A third type of compass used was a device of infinite
sensitiveness—a revolving electrical coll, which is ad
justed to a given relation with the magnetism of the
earth. This, the sun compass, and the magnetic com
pass were each used to correct the other.
Lieutenant Byrd in his flight used a quick method of
telling when he was actually at the Pole. This was the
Invention worked out by Mr. Littlehales, the U. S.
Navy hydrographic engineer. It shows the sunte posi
tion from the North Pole at every hour of the day and
every day es the year. When the flyer is near the Pole
he can, by ascertaining the exact position of the sun,
prove that he Is near the Pole.
Flies 3,00 C Miles Over Arctic.
The expedition, backed by such men as John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., had three
objects. . .
nL i
Wish l>im tl
With him tms time ■ vuiumuuci
expert, who is I lying Commander G. O. Noble, as it
requires great skill and pains to prevent the freezing
of lubricating oil and stiffened action of the metors, If
forged to work on the plane in the open at great
altitudes with the thermometer at 60 to 70 below zero.
Tile points which favored the month of May were that
the Arctic fog had not begun to rise and heavy snows still
covered the land and afforded many good landing places.
A factor of Safety pointed out by Commander Byrd in
’ * Arnncs’twn with rtffi use or the Fokker machine is that it
carries a reserve engine. It has three engines. With a
light load one is expected to be sufficient to maintain the
piano in flight. With a normal load, two engines will do
tho work. If two engines break down at one time, when
the plane is not too heavily loaded. It may fly with tho
use of one engine. The Fokker machine has a wing
spread of slightly more than 64 feet. It Is said to ba
a marvel of airship construction.
The other airplane—the Curtis Oriole—was to have
been used chiefly in finding landing fields so that If
the fliers found their main landing place covered with a
fog they might go elsewhere.
The Chantler W£s equipped with a powerful radio trans
mitter to send back the news of the expedition. The
Fokker also Is equipped with a receiving and trans
mitting set. Commander Byrd not only kept the world
Informed of the progress of the expedition, but received
through the Chantler weather warnings to guide him In
his iftght.
How Expedition Wa« Equipped.
Forty-fiye hiindred«poundk oj whole beef were Included
in'the* rations of the’ Byrd crew of forty-seven fliers,
seamen and technicians. Also pounds of
I pemralcan (meat fats - and raisins), huge quantities of
bacon, dried milk, erbswurst (pea soup) and other sup
plies in proportion were carried along. Cod liver oil was
, Included for Its healthful properties. Herbert Griggs,
j who had charge of provisioning Peary’s expedition In hts
. famous dash to the Pole, worked out the rations for the
Byrd explorers. Two pounds per man per day was the
, allowance to take care of all emergencies.
. No amount of clothing Is really sufficient when flying
, 1,000 or more feet In the air In the Polar regions, but
, every possible precaution was taken by Commander Byrd
against exposure. The men were equipped with the
. warmest and lightest of reindeer suits and with fur
. parkas, a garment that reaches to the knees and has a
I hood covering the head. Plenty of goggles were found
I .to be an absolute necessity to protect them against the
, glare of the snow.
tn spite of all the precautions the undertaking was
full of unseen danger. None of this equipment would be
, of the slightest avail against some unexpected and un
, precedented situation which might arise. There Is always
, the danger of snowblindness, exhaustion, freezing, some
mishap to the engine. Lieutenant Byrd and his com
panions. however, were particularly fortunate in escaping
with practically’ no ill effects except the exhaustion due
to such a perilous trip.
Pick Up Ice Pilot.
The ship Chantier's first stop was at Tromso, Norway,
where an Ice skip, r was taken oh to pilot the Chantler
; and its crew through the Ice-filled waters around Spltz
, bergen to King’s Bay, where preparations for the first
’ flight to the Pole were made. The planes, the instruments
, and the various oil mixtures used In connection with the
airship tests, were carefully examined and tested. Lieu
tenant Byrd’s original plans called for six flights as follows
1— A -UW-mile flight from Spitzbergen to Peary Lam
to unload oil, provisions and equipment at a place that
1 looks promising for a landing.
2 A 400-mlle flight back to Spitzbergen.
B—A8 —A second 400-mile flight from Spitzbergen to Peary
Land base with further food, fuel and equipment.
4 —An 850-mile flight to and around the Pole and back
to the Peary base.
3 An 800-mlle round trip flight to the northwest over
unexplored areas in search of new lands.
6 A 400-mile flight from the Peary Land base back to
Spitzbergen.
It was his plan in his second flight to attempt to dis
cover new land, but when he received the report of the
flight of Amundsen in his dirigible, in which it was stated
■ that the Norge had failed to find any trace of new
land, Lieutenant Byrd decided to abandon further flights
and the trip over land on sleds he had planned in his
’ search for new land In unexplored areas. Now he has
decided to try to accomplish by airship at the South
Pole what he did at the North. As he left the Spit - ;
bergen base he stated that he would have just as v
i an equipped expedition for his southern flight as)te
ifi his r *cent adventure In the Norths
1— To prove that air navi
gation in the Arctic Is feas
ible and that freight and mes-'
senger travel over the top of
tke world is certain to come.
2 -To hunt for new land
In the unexplored areas of
the Arctic.
3 —Jo conquer the North
Pole from the air as a sport
ing adventure and as a dem
onstration of what a plane
can do—not a geographical
study, as the Pole was bagged
(J 1
for nil time by Admiral Peary.
Probably no one knows more about
Arctic flying than Commander Byrd. From
the Greenland base of the MacMillan ex
pedition at Etah last year he flew 3,000
miles over the Arctic, studying the be
havior of oil, motors, compasses, and
other navigation Instruments at great
altitudes over the Polar sea.
Tils time Commander Byrd took a noted fuel
