Mattern Returns To Siberia
MOSCOW, June 13.—James Mattern, American round-the-world flier, returned unexpectedly to Khabarovsk, Siberia, at 6:20 a.m., Moscow time today. There was no explanation but it was assumed that he had encountered heavy weather making continuance of his projected flight to Nome, Alaska, impossible.
NOME, Alaska, June 13.—Fear for the safety of James Mattern, round-the-world flyer, was felt here today with reports that heavy fogs had settled over the Bering Sea along the route of Mattern's flight from Khabarovsk. A dropping barometer later indicated that the flyer would run headlong into a storm as he approached the Alaskan coast.
The weather conditions in the Bering Sea area were believed to have forced Mattern to deviate from his direct course from Khabarovsk. This was held to be responsible for his failure to arrive at Nome on schedule.
