The Little America Aviation and Exploration Club reports no word from Arthur Abele due to radio upgrades at Little America.

Captain Allan Innes Taylor leads a 300 mile dog team mission to Carfoen Land while a crack in the ice prompts cautions. A notable member, radio operator Richard Hoyt, collects and relays stories from New York City. The club expands member numbers toward 12,000 and outlines mail procedures for official Little America postmarks and stamps from Byrd’s expedition.
