...their Familia Volano, a big black-&-silver Sikorsky amphibian, the Hutchin-sons-George, 30, Blanche, 28, Kathryn, 8, Janet Lee, 6-and a crew of four had hopped by easy stages to Labrador (TIME, Sept. 5), thence across Davis Strait to Greenland and down the coast to Julian-ehaab. Hopping off from there to the booming salute of a Danish warship, Pilot Hutchinson skirted the southern tip of the great island, headed north for Angmagsa-lik. His itinerary called for successive hops to Iceland, the Faroe Islands, England, Rome...
Easily the Sikorsky flew to St. John. N. B., thence to Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence where bad weather disposed of a tentative plan to reach London in five days via Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Edinburgh. Pilot Hutchinson was emphatic in stating he would take as long as necessary to insure safety.

From November when the last heat departed until the day after the first boat arrived the next spring no miner had a cold, although...
Depression struck the second blow. Unable to borrow money for the Dominion, Premier Squires proposed to sell its greatest possession, Labrador, to Canada for only $100.000,000. Canada turned down the bargain (TIME, Feb. 29). Inevitably Newfoundland's "dole" then had to be reduced. This produced riots. Twice during the past six months Sir Richard Squires has been mobbed and roughly handled (TIME, Feb. 22 & April 18). In alarm the British Admiralty sent a warboat to St. John's, but Newfound landers, again on their best behavior, entertained His Majesty's blue-jackets so hospitably and quietly that they soon...
