...stag cruise-the first vacation since I was married 30 years ago." Stricken with peritonitis in mid-Pacific last week, Mr. Baker was operated upon by his yacht's physician, assisted by a doctor and nurse haled from a passing liner. Radio brought further medical aid from Hawaii, sped by the Navy, the Coast Guard, the U. S. Public Health Service. Mrs. Baker dashed 5.500 mi. by air from Manhattan to arrive in Honolulu the day before her husband died...

He was immediately distressed because he feared, along with many another, that the event might prove a parallel to the dismal Dole race across the Pacific from California to Hawaii ten years ago in which six planes were lost (TIME, Aug. 22, 1927).

There he stood and watched the sun rise. As he turned to go, his foot...

Unofficially, because referee findings must clear through the Navy Department, this year's defending Black fleet seemed to have won due to its air superiority over attacking Whites. Fortunately for Admiral Arthur Japy Hepburn, Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. fleet and chief umpire in the Hawaiian games, the sinking of his flagship the Pennsylvania by a submarine was only simulated. Unfortunately for Lieut. Commander John F. Gillon and his mechanic, Glen Beal, the fatal plunge of their plane...
