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
