-—Aviation — REPAIRS MADE ON GIRL FLIER’S OCEANJLANE Crew of Friendship Is Undecided When Hop Will Start. BY J. T. MEAFJEY United Press Special Correspondent ST. JOHN’S N. F., June 9.—The three motored Fokker airplane Friendship swung lazily at its moorings in Trepassy Bay today, its repairs completed and its crew of three undecided when a start for England would be made. The lubricating tank and one pontoon sprung leaks Thursday. Both were repaired Friday and made ship-shape for the Hazarodus flight to England, but there was no activity to denote when Miss Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon would start on the transAtlantic venture. The port was fairly calm after thundershowers late Friday. The temperature was ideal, but there was a murkiness overhead. Ten miles off St. John's it was reported there were heavy fog banks, but weather forecasts for the next few hours indicated favorable flying conditions. Stultz was quite undecided when he again would attempt to start the heavily loaded craft on its flight. He said he wanted to time the flight so that arrival would be made in England in the morning, as he did not desire to take a chance of making a landing or even trying to sight land in the darkness. All members of the crew were much interested in the plans of ths airplane Columbia, now at Curtiss Field, L. I. They are determined to leave Trepassy before the Columbia, carrying Miss Mabel 8011, starts as Miss Amelia Earhart is determined to be the first woman to make a trans-Atlantic flight. Stultz was questioned concerning reports that Miss Mabel 801 l was incensed because he did .not pilot her craft, the Bellanca monoplane Columbia. / “I recall Miss 801 l did speak to me about flying the Columbia when we were down South," Stultz said referring to their recent flight to Havana. ‘T made her no definite promises and did not sign a contract wtih her. “I can not see what ails her unless she is displeased with her present pilot.”
