...Since then the ice pack, twisted by Arctic currents, hammered by icebergs, has begun piling in on itself. It heaved the camp kitchen into splinters, erupted the surface of the improvised landing field. A loose block of ice nudged the pack's edge, smashed Professor Schmidt's motorboat. The hardy professor worked overtime in a gale to keep his precarious village functioning. Last week he was running a fever, saying nothing about it, when the weather cleared and Soviet rescue planes got through. They were flown by Pilots Molokov, Slepnev and Kamanin. The professor loaded his weakest villagers...
...from home, they find what they want but it is in Australian waters. Long since, the Australian Government has protested to Tokyo via London against their poaching. But Japan had not the heart to discourage such energetic citizens. Last week Australia got ready a fleet of fast motorboat patrols to catch the heavy-engined sampans from the north...
...warm, exciting routine of swimming and horse-racing, parties and roulette which constitute social life on the east coast of Florida, outboard motorboat racing this winter assumed an international air. After the first series of races at New Smyrna (TIME, March 12), there began a round of entertaining at Palm Beach.

S., got Florida yacht clubs and hotelmen to put up $15,000 for expenses & prizes. On hand at New Smyrna were not all the best pilots in Europe where outboard racing is a more socialite pastime...
Pioneer bobbers in the U. S. are the four bear-trapping, motorboat-driving, flying, hotel-owning Stevens Brothers of Lake Placid. Beaten this year for the two-man title, they had the satisfaction of keeping the four-man title in the family. Hubert, who won the two-man championship last year, was too ill to defend it this year. Last week two Stevens teams were entered in the four-man race. After a day's postponement because it was so cold that drivers' noses froze while they were making the run, Raymond Stevens won the title...
