Arriving with Pilot Hans Mirow of the Mirow Air Service yesterday were Morton Sullivan, Joe Crabtree, Chas. Stump and Harry Pedersen.

Pilot Mirow hopped off again this morning with the Nome basketball team including Capt. Jimmy Davidson, Mgr. Jack Huling, Carl Wourinen, Tony Rolando, Andy Roberts and Chuck O'Leary. One other player Herschel King is to leave this afternoon with pilot Whaley.

Pilot Whaley of the Mirow Air Service flew to Golovin with Arnold Undem, and to Bluff with Morton Sullivan, Joe Crabtree and Harry Pedersen. He hopped off late this afternoon for Fairbanks with Herschel King and Johnny Schweggler.

Pilot Mirow is to return tomorrow from Fairbanks by way of Marshall and Mountain Village pick up jurors and witnesses.

Pilot Mirow on his flight to Nome yesterday stopped at Galena and left a cowling for the motor of the Bach plane of the Mirow Air Service, which landed there Monday enroute to Fairbanks because the motor was running cold. It was expected the Bach would be in the air this morning and continue on to Fairbanks with Miss Gertrude Johansen and Ed Steffen as passengers for the Fair.

The Bach will remain in Fairbanks receiving cold weather flying equipment, it was said, until the Ice Carnival is over and then return Nome passengers who are in that city now.

The Bach plane and pilot Mirow, both arrived at Fairbanks this afternoon. Pilot Whaley will stop overnight at Koyukuk.
