Expedition Lacked Fudd In Arctic Search
Major Thomas C. Lanphier said in Butte that the Wilkins expedition failed to reach the undiscovered continent of the far north. Overland transport from Fairbanks to Point Barrow was impossible with dog teams and motor sleds. Planes could carry only enough fuel for a one way trip, stopping at Point Barrow on return. Captain Wilkins plans another northward expedition next spring.
