The landing, according to the Asahi, was made at 6 p. m. Japanese time (5 a. m. E.D.T.).Conquering the engine trouble which held them for two days and a half in the vicinity of Muroton Bay, Shimushiru Island, the Lindberghs resumed their journey at 2:30 p. m. (1:30 a. m. E.D.T.), and hoped to reach Nemuro In four hours of steady flying.Officers and crew of the Japanese government vessel Shlnshuru Maru, who went to the Lindberghs’ rescue after their second forced descent near Shimishuru Island, bid the fliers farewell and Col.
