S. A. He went to sea as an ensign in the navy but not for long. One day in a heavy sea, he fell down a step ladder leading from the battleship's quarter deck t:,p her "gunwalk." Once more he cracked his leg. The surgeons told h.im the best thing for him to do was to go on inactive duty. In 1916 h e succumbed to the inevitable. He retired as lieutenant; put on the shelf. But Diek Byrd' did not stay on the shelf. War came. Against the advice of the doctors and friends, h e insisted that h e be g iyen a ch ance to fly. So Dick went to Pensacola, Florida, for instruction. His student days were full of thrills. A plane nose dived and killed both occupants before hil5 eyes three minutes afte r he set foot at the station. In 1n8 h was sent to command a suhmarine patrol station at Halifax. \Vhen · the Armistice ·arne h e was teaching men to jump from planes with parachutc~s. In 1925 he got permission t o take three na \'Y planes to Greenla nd. H e had hef'n '""arned about u s ing a plane around the North Pole. A ~ter many obstacl es he finally flew a round the North Pole. Twelv(> m onths late r he had anothe r plane and was rea d~' to fly to Paris. Through no fault of his ow n, his ·plan(> c racked up in his test flight. B e nn ett and Li eutenant G. 0. )J'oville, were n early kill ed . The latter of the two accompanied Byrd on hiR, flight to France. Byrd escaped with a split rib and a broken arm. As soon as he reco\"ered he made the flight to Paris but was unable to land because ot an intense fog. After flying for several hours, apparently lost, his gas supply became exhausted and he was forced to land in the shallow water off the coast of Northern France. He is now gett.t ng ready for a South Pole trip and when the day comes h e will hop off for the greatest unknown area on the globe today. . , . He will "give h er the gas with a smile and a gay wave of his hand. For the smile, and the wave, the quiet eificiency, comprises Dick ~yrd, adventurer. Without a doubt, D1ckie Byrd as he is know:n in the navy, is the greatest air navigator of the time. -Jack Duncan, 8A Stolp EARL F:. ORNER Earl E. Orner was born in Gettyshurg. Pennsylnmia.
