Atkinson News,
King’s Bay, Spitzbergen.
Heartiest congratulations on wonderful flight and stories. Effective today you are aviation editor of News with Ralph as your assistant.

George Carson,
Managing Editor.”
Tim’s heart leaped with joy. Aviation editor of the News! The attainment of his cherished goal.
With trembling fingers he took up the second sheet of flimsy. The words danced before his eyes; they were almost like a message from another world.
“Congratulations. Your flight was splendid. Am awaiting your return. No fun sky-larking when you aren’t around to make things interesting. The score is still 50-50. The next time we meet will be the last for one of us.
