Berlin, July 16. Mi\ Wiley Post made a perfect landing here after 25i hours' flight from New Yorlc. His machine. was refuelled and Mr. Post departed for Novosibirsk in the afternoon. The aerodrome officials were amazcd when Mr. Wiley Post, who seemed cxhausted, announced that he wislied to continue immediately. He rei'used to sleep while his machine was being refuelled. He revealed that he c xperienced very unfavouraible weather, and encountered rain and snowstorms en route and also thick mist off Ireland. He once was badly scared over the Atlantic when at 12,000 feet he saw ice forming on his machine, the controls of which might have been frozen; so just in time he descended to a lower altitude where the warmer air thawed the ice. Mr. Post lost his way between Berlin and Konigsberg, due to bad weather. He was forced down by a leaky oilpipe. Rockets guided him to the Koingsberg airport.
