FLYING PROBLEMS. [United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at 9.40 a.m.) BAY OF AV[TALES, Nov. 14., The weather continues fickle. It makes exploring and flying seem unlikely until early .in December. A dump valve is being made for the big Ford so that if nccesary, part of the fuel load can die dropped on tlie Polar (light. If a forced landing were made, the ship would be lightened and if one motor stalled, the fuel, would also be dropped so Unit the remaining motors might carry the ’plane out from the plateau to where a. landing could be 'made on the Barrier near the inland base. The ’plane must liy at -such a high altitude over the ten thousand foot plateau, that the release of even a small part of the fuel load would make a great difference in flying.
