High winds have kept the British round-the-world flier, Mrs. Richard Morrow-Tait, grounded at this Aleutian outpost for the past two days.
The 24-year-old matron and her navigator, Michael Townsend, plan to leave for Anchorage as soon as the weather clears. From there they hope to fly to the Canadian East Coast and back home to England.
They arrived here last Wednesday from Japan after a hazardous flight during which they encountered storms and almost ran out of gas. Their radio, knocked out in that flight, has been repaired.
